%X Understanding the propagation of acoustic waves
through a liquid-perfused porous solid framework such as cancellous bone is an
important pre-requisite to improve the diagnosis of osteoporosis by ultrasound.
In order to elucidate the propagation dependence upon the material and
structural properties of cancellous bone, several theoretical models have been
considered to date, with Biot-based models demonstrating the greatest
potential. This paper describes the fundamental basis of these models and
reviews their performance.
