Dynamic coherent backscattering in a heterogeneous absorbing medium: Application to human trabecular bone characterization

We report measurements of time-resolved coherent backscattering enhancement in human trabecular bones with wide-band ultrasonic waves around 3 MHz. The experimental results show that multiple scattering takes place in the bone structure and yields an estimation of the scattering mean-free path indep...

Zusammenfassung:We report measurements of time-resolved coherent backscattering enhancement in human trabecular bones with wide-band ultrasonic waves around 3 MHz. The experimental results show that multiple scattering takes place in the bone structure and yields an estimation of the scattering mean-free path independently from intrinsic absorption losses.
