Abstract :
In this paper, a fuzzy identification method for cellular quantity of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in artificial culture bones is proposed. We attempt to identify for cellular quantity with an ultrasonic system and fuzzy inference approach. We employ two characteristics: the amplitude and the frequency; the amplitude is obtained from the raw ultrasonic wave, and the frequency is calculated from frequency spectrum obtained by applying cross-spectrum method. The experimental results show that the proposed method identifies cellular quantity in artificial culture bone with high accuracy.
