Abstract :
This paper proposes an ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation method for estimating cellular quantity in artificial culture bone by an ultrasonic system. In order to measure the cellular quantity, we transmit ultrasound over the culture bone including stem cell. The characteristics of the amplitude and frequency of the obtained ultrasound waves are employed. Fuzzy inference system estimates the cellular quantity by using these characteristics. As a result, we can estimate cellular quantity in culture bone with 83.33% accuracy.
