The time response of surface displacement and acoustic impedance of in situ layers of articular cartilage were measured by using pulse-echo ultrasound. Disturbances were introduced by altering the osmotic pressure. Strongly nonlinear behavior was observed near physiological equilibrium. A model of articular cartilage is proposed which relates our results to cartilage microstructure.
采用脉冲回波超声测量关节软骨原位层的表面位移和声阻抗的时间响应。通过改变渗透压引入干扰。在生理平衡附近观察到强烈的非线性行为。提出了一种关节软骨模型,将我们的结果与软骨微观结构联系起来。
