Abstract
An ultrasound device captures skeleton density information. This ultrasound device includes at least two transmittershaving a distance of Lbetween them for transmitting ultrasound signals into the skeleton, at least two receivershaving a distance of Lbetween them for receiving ultrasound signals from the skeleton, as the calibrated known distance L is at least one of distances Land L. The ultrasound device also includes a processing unitfor calculating a ultrasound velocity in the skeleton for forming skeleton density information on the basis of the ultrasound signals received by the receiversby dividing known distance by an average of a travel time difference for a ultrasound signal between the receiversreceiving the ultrasound signal from the first transmitterand the second transmitter
