Ultrasonic wave propagation and attenuation in wet bone.
The propagation of ultrasonic longitudinal waves in bovine plexiform and human Haversian bone has been studied over the range 0.5-16 MHz. In wet bone little velocity dispersion was observed, in contrast to the results of earlier studies on dry bone. Large values of attenuation were observed.
