title: [Evaluation of skeletal properties with ultrasonics. I. Clinical and experimental design].
abstract: Early detection of a pathological skeletal process and control of fracture healing are sometimes difficult when conventional x-ray methods are employed, since stability of bones depends not only on calcigerous tissue but also on the organic matrix. Therefore the ultrasonic procedure shall be tested as to its usefulness. The authors present a test device for clinical trial.
