An effective model for cancellous bone with a viscous interstitial fluid *

We outline the mathematical model of the ultrasonic response of cancellous bone and its time harmonic formulation. In contrast to the Biot model, the fluid is not inviscid. Our fluid is viscous, but does not interact with the solid components.
