An inverse-stochastic framework is proposed to reproduce the pattern evolution and predict the mechanical properties of a tissue-engineered culture from ultrasonic measurements in an in-vitro culture. A Markovian type of evolution is expected in tissue cultures for mechanical properties such us bulk modulus (K) or attenuation coefficient (AC), under the hypothesis that the future of the process depends only upon its present state, and not upon past states. Additionally a spread in the evolution histories for different repetitions of the same process is expected, consequently stochastic models such us Markov chains [Gallager, 1996] seems to be more suitable. The method proposed is predictive in nature and can be applicable to any measurable biomechanical process, under the assumption that the process shows Markovian evolution.
