Popis: In this chapter, recent piezoelectric and opto-acoustic studies on bone are introduced. The former are certainly related to ultrasound since piezoelectricity is one of the electro-mechanical properties. The latter are divided into two parts: Photo Acoustics (PA) and Brillouin Scattering (BS). PA is the energy conversion from light to ultrasound while Brillouin scattering is the interaction between phonons and photons. These studies seem very different; however, they are all studies on the ultrasonic material characterization of bone. Another common aspect of these studies is that they are generally targeting the material characterization of bone extracellular matrix. These studies have started later than the conventional ultrasonic bone studies and are expected to provide different characteristics of bone in the micrometer scale area.
