Various statistical techniques were then employed to classify the samples into those containing fragments and those free of fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The results <\/strong>demonstrate that the presence of bone fragments in the product causes alterations in the parameters of ultrasonic energy magnitude (average decrease from 81.6% to 52.6%, depending on the size of the fragments) and distribution (average decrease from 97.9% to 70.6%, depending on the size of the fragments). It was also observed that the best sample classification performance is achieved using the RSS (Sum of Squared Residuals) statistical method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In summary<\/strong>, the results obtained so far confirm the potential of combining ultrasound imaging with multivariate image analysis as a reliable and rapid method for detecting bone fragments in chicken breast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bibliography<\/strong>: G.A.
