In Vitro Acoustic Waves Propagation in Human and Bovine Cancellous Bone

The acoustic behavior of cancellous bone with regard to its complex poroelastic nature has been investigated. The existence of two longitudinal modes of propagation is demonstrated in both bovine and human cancellous bone. Failure to take into account the presence of these two waves may result in inaccurate material characterization.
