Abstract
An ultrasound device can be calibrated for forming skeleton density information. This ultrasound device includes a calibration program integrated programmatically to the ultrasound device and a calibration part for calibrating a known distance L. The velocity of ultrasound is known for different temperatures in the calibration part. The ultrasound device includes at least two transmitters having a distance of Lbetween them for transmitting ultrasound signals into the skeleton, and at least two receivers having a distance of Lbetween them for receiving ultrasound signals from the skeleton. At least one of distances Land Lis equal to the calibrated known distance L. The ultrasound device also includes a processing unit for calculating an ultrasound velocity in the skeleton.
