Abstract: | This paper presents a new method in order to appreciate the roughness of elliptical or spherical small bodies by using ultrasound. This thing is possible by knowing about 2-4 acoustic resonance frequencies. The maximum diameter and medium roughness of the bodies are evaluated. Small bodies such as tumors can be detected, when other medical devices like ultrasound or tomography computerized cannot evaluate the surface shape because of limited spatial resolution. The method is intended to be used in oncological medicine for early non-invasive diagnostic for cancer, because tumor tissue has outer surface more or less rough, depending on whether or not it is malignant. |
