Correction of Thickness Measurement by Ultrasound for Articular Cartilage Using Sound Velocity Estimation

Background. Ultrasound measurement of osteoarthritis cartilage thickness is not sufficiently accurate if constant sound velocity is used. The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of estimating the sound velocity using echo reflectance from the cartilage surface. Methods. Change in...
