Ultrasound Technique Penetrates Bone, Metal (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a technique that allows ultrasound to penetrate bone or metal, using customized structures that offset the distortion usually caused by these so-called aberrating layers. 'In effect, it's as if the aberrating layer isn't even there,' says Dr. Yun Jing, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at NC State University and senior author of a paper describing the work.
