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 …

Progress in clinical characterization of bone relies on developing a means to clinically
assess all of the important determinants of bone quality, specifically, the intrinsic material …

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

The present study was designed to evaluate the relationships between ultrasonic
backscatter, density, and microarchitecture of cancellous bone. The slopes of the frequency …

Trabecular bone plays a significant role in maintaining bone structural integrity. Its density is
a significant determinant of bone strength and fracture risk, but there is still unexplained …

Currently available quantitative ultrasound technologies to assess cancellous bone are
based on the measurements in transmission of speed of sound or slope of …

Ultrasonic measurements were made in three orthogonal directions on 70 vertebral bone
cubes. Apparent density (ρ) was determined, and microcomputed tomography was used to …

Ultrasound has been investigated as a tool for characterizing the biomechanical
competence of bone. The rationale for using ultrasound rests on two points. First, its …

Although it has been over 20 years since the first recorded use of quantitative ultrasound
(QUS) technology to predict bone strength, the field has not yet reached its maturity. Among …

Ultrasonic propagation in bone has been investigated using the Leeds Ultrasonic Bone
Phantom Material. Phantoms were produced with different porosities in the range of 45 …
