The utility of scanning acoustic microscope (SAM) techniques in developing acoustic impedance maps of bone cross sections has been demonstrated experimentally. The relatively inexpensive acoustic scanner has a resolution suitable for detecting subtle local changes in acoustic impedance and, hence, elastic properties. For instance, the significantly lower C33 properties in the posterior region of the...
