ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for determining correlation length of body tissue, metals, crystals, or other materials, substances and the like having an ordered internal stucture (hereinafter structures) and for utilizing such correlation length to test, classify or otherwise characterize the structure. The structure is scanned using standard ultrasonic scanning technology and the output from such scan is processed to determine correlation length in one dimension (length), two dimensions (area), three dimensions (volume). A fourth dimension of time may also be used with one or more of the other three dimensions in the correlation length determination.
