Abstract

This paper describes an air-coupled ultrasound system by using DIO-2000. The system is aimed to use for inner muscle evaluation in rehabilitation process. The system evaluates inner muscle with low constrain than conventional method which measured by using MR image, X-ray CT and contacted ultrasound system. Our air-coupled ultrasound system measures transmitted ultrasound wave with very low power through human abdominal region by employing a pulsar-receiver with high sensitive preamplifier, and wave detection method based on fuzzy inference finds transmitted wave from noisy wave. The fuzzy inference is derived from characteristics of transmitted wave. In the experiment, we evaluate the accuracies of wave detection method for human body.
