    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study developed an ultrasonic tomograph for ulna imaging. In vivo trials showed limitations due to soft tissue reflections, but solid object tests revealed angle-dependent accuracy issues.

    Main Results:

    • In vivo trials revealed unsatisfactory performance due to soft tissue reflections.
    • Solid object tests demonstrated accuracy limitations related to the angle of incidence of the ultrasonic beam.
    • Mechanical and electronic errors were not the primary cause of plot inaccuracies.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed ultrasonic tomograph faces challenges with in vivo soft tissue interference.
    • Accuracy in imaging is fundamentally limited by ultrasonic beam angle, not equipment errors.
    • Further theoretical work is needed to account for observed imaging irregularities.
