The speed of sound (SOS) of a longitudinal wave propagating in the living body reflects the tissue properties and is expected as a promising evaluation index for detection of disease, diagnosis and monitoring. However, in general, the interpretation of SOS is complex, because it is influenced mostly by compressibility and multiple factors. In this study, as a study for the interpretation of SOS, the SOS of cartilage was measured in vivo by using a fusion of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the correlations between the SOS and other quantities were investigated. In summary, as a possible interpretation of SOS of cartilage tissue used in this study, it was suggested that the SOS was partly related to water content.
