In the last two decades, several non-invasive techniques have been developed to measure
bone density at axial and peripheral skeletal sites. The dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry …

Measurement of the velocity of propagation and attenuation of ultrasound (200 kHz) is

HE CLINICAL MANAGEMENT of osteoporosis relies heavily T on the use of bone mass
measurements. To this end, several safe, precise, and accurate methods have been …

An understanding of the interaction between acoustic waves and cancellous bone is needed
in order to realize the full clinical potential of ultrasonic bone measurements. Scattering is …

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

An ultrasound reflection technique was designed and implemented to study the mechanical
properties of bone material. The technique uses the fact that an ultrasound beam produced …

During the two recent decades, quantitative ultrasound (QUS) methods have been
developed for in vivo diagnostics of trabecular bone. Mostly, trabecular bone QUS …

In clinical examination of long cortical bones based on ultrasound axial transmission, the
parameter currently used as indicator of bone fragility is the velocity of the first arriving signal …

Osteoporosis, often termed the 'silent epidemic', has been defined as 'a decrease in bone
mass and architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and …
