Noninvasive ultrasonic measuring system for bone geometry examination

Bone deformities are typically identified through standard radiograms. Since X‐ray examinations are easily applied and offer high quality imaging, noninvasive techniques are not commonly used in bone diagnostics. Nevertheless, nonradiological techniques are considered necessary because of the harmful effects of X‐ray radiation.
