Clinical bone sonometers applied at the calcaneus measure broadband ultrasound
attenuation and speed of sound. However, the relation of ultrasound measurements to bone …

This in vitro study aimed to add new experimental evidence to clarify the relation between
acoustic properties of bone and bone mineral density (BMD) of the human calcaneus …

Ultrasound parameters (attenuation, phase velocity, and backscatter), bone mineral density
(BMD), and microarchitectural features were measured on 29 human cancellous calcaneus …

Broadband ultrasonic attenuation (dB MHz cm− 1, nBUA) was determined for specimens
from 20 human calcanei, along with apparent density, elasticity (Young's modulus), and …

The mechanical status of bones is an important consideration in skeletal pathological
conditions such as osteoporosis, which result in fracture at predominantly cancellous bone …

This study investigated the ability of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) to detect reductions in the
elastic modulus of cancellous bone caused by mechanical damage. Ultrasonic velocity and …

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

In this study, we evaluate if high frequency ultrasound impedance measurements can
predict the mechanical properties of bones where the amount of bone mineral is varied. The …

Ultrasonic methods measure properties intrinsic to bone's structure that are not necessarily
dependent on bone mass. Therefore, ultrasound may prove to be a useful tool for …

The technology surrounding ultrasonic bone assessment is evolving rapidly as investigators
explore the utility of new ultrasonic parameters and different ultrasonic frequencies. This …
