Fractal dimension predicts broadband ultrasound attenuation in stereolithography models of cancellous bone

There has been considerable debate on the relative dependence of broadband ultrasound attenuation (nBUA, dB MHz(-1) cm(-1)) upon the density and structure of cancellous bone. A nonlinear relationship between nBUA and porosity has recently been demonstrated using stereolithography models, indicating...
