Abstract

This article discusses the limitations in common methods used in diagnosing cold injuries and hence, suggests the use of ultrasonic method in detecting such signs. The proposed method is based on registering a change in the propagation speed of ultrasonic vibrations in the tissue of the tested biological object. Such a change is caused by the resulting change in the physical properties of the object under study in case of cold injury symptoms. Accordingly, the developed ultrasonic device is capable of detecting the degree of frostbites quickly and non-invasively, through detecting the intra-tissular pressure, whose dependence on the propagation speed of ultrasound is conducted.
