| Abstract | A 50-MHz quantitative scanning acoustic microscope (23 mum lateral resolution) has been used to assess spatial distribution of tissue acoustic impedance Z and microstructure features of cortical bone of human radii with the aim to determine, if these parameters vary in the different regions of the cortex. Ten fresh bone specimens taken from diaphyses of 10 human radii were explored. Z and microstructural features related to cortical porosity were derived from the morphometric analysis of the segmented Z images. Regional distributions of tissue acoustic impedance and microstructural features were analyzed along the circumferential and across the radial directions of the entire transverse cross-section of the radius. A higher porosity was found in the inner cortical layer (Mean plusmn SD = 8.9 plusmn 2.3%) compared to the peripheral layer (2.7 plusmn 1.5%) $(p<10^{-5}).$ ANOVA showed that all the variance can be explained by the regional effect (no statistically significant between-sample variability). Similar to porosity, the number and diameter of pores were greater in the inner layer. In contrast to porosity, ANOVA showed that Z variability can mostly be explained by between-specimen variability. Z in the inner portion (8.25 plusmn 0.4 Mrayl) was significantly higher than in the peripheral layer (8.0 plusmn 0.5 Mrayl) (p < $10^{-4}).$ No correlation was found between Z and microstructure. Scanning acoustic microscopy is a valuable tool to provide data on the spatial distributions of microstructural and microelastic bone properties that is useful to improve our understanding of bone structure-function relationships. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
