The objective of this work is to evaluate the newly developed scanning confocal acoustic
diagnostic (SCAD) system in the assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) of human …

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by decreased bone mass and progressive
deterioration of the microstructure, affecting both mineral density and bone's fragility. Current …

Conclusive evidence indicates that osteopenia occurs due to a lack of physical activity in the
skeleton such as in microgravity and long-term bed rest. Early diagnosis of these skeletal …

Microgravity and aging induced bone loss is a critical skeleton complication, occurring
particularly in the weight‐supporting skeleton, which leads to osteoporosis and fracture …

Musculoskeletal complications, ie, osteoporosis, affect not only bone's mineral density, but
also quality. Early diagnosis of such poor bone quality leads to prompt treatment and thus …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) assessment, including broadband ultrasound attenuation
(BUA), is an efficient technique for assessing bone quality in various statuses, eg …

Ultrasound (US) has been introduced as a promising tool for osteoporosis diagnostics.
However, soft tissues overlying the bones affect reliability of the ultrasound (US) techniques …

Relationships among quantitative ultrasound of bone (QUS), bone mineral density (BMD)
and bone microarchitecture have been poorly investigated in human calcaneus.. Twenty …

The objectives of this study were to develop a novel ultrasound device to estimate bone
mineral density (BMD) at the calcaneus. The device is entirely self-contained, portable (≤ …
