Abstract
It is shown that the transmission of ultrasonic pulses in bovine trabe cular bone can be adequately described using Biot's theory. The differ ent parameters involved in this theory have been measured independentl y and the theoretical results have been compared with experimental dat a obtained on water filled samples. Although several assumptions and a pproximations had to be made, the correspondence between theory and ex periment is satisfactory.
