Abstract
An ultrasonic measuring device and method for determining bone density and structure includes an electronic control unit, a positioning unit housing at least a transducer pair and carrying a receiving unit, the unit being adapted to be coupled to a bone segment of the human body and carrying a locating device for ascertaining the position of the bone segment with respect to the unit, and an electronic unit for determining a first waveform representing an ultrasonic signal transmitted through the metaphysis portion of the bony segment and a second waveform representing an ultrasonic signal transmitted through the diaphysis portion, and an electronic processor and display for displaying the first and second waveforms as a measured output.
