Claim 1:
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the controller is further configured to
generate a third control signal causing the transducer to
generate a second axial ultrasound signal from the transducer towards and into the bony member wherein portions of the second axial ultrasound signal travel along the longitudinal axis of the bony member in a second axial direction;
receive first and second portions of the second axial ultrasound signal at a second pair of acoustic elements of the transducer after the first and second portions of the second axial ultrasound signal have exited the bony member and generate a second pair of axial output signals in response;

process the first and second pairs of axial output signals to obtain the axial transmission time delay.
