Thirty-eight slices of pure trabecular bone 1-cm thickness were extracted from human
proximal femurs. A pair of 1-MHz central frequency transducers was used to measure …

The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of modulated ultrasound signals in
the measurement of bone properties as an early indicator of osteoporosis. Twenty-one …

Ultrasound-based methods for evaluating bone strength, known as quantitative
ultrasonography, sparked considerable interest when they were introduced in the 1990s …

The effect of decreasing bone density (a symptom of osteoporosis) is greater for cancellous
bone than for dense cortical bone, because cancellous bone is metabolically more active …

Although bone sonometry has been demonstrated to be useful in the diagnosis of
osteoporosis, much remains to be learned about the processes governing the interactions …

Our objective is to evaluate an ultrasound probe for measurements of velocity and
anisotropy in human cortical bone (tibia). The anisotropy of cortical bone is a known and …

Although it has been over 30 years since the first recorded use of quantitative ultrasound
(QUS) technology to predict bone strength, the field has not yet reached its maturity. Among …

Studies have indicated that quantitative ultrasound (QUS) variables may be influenced by
the mechanical properties of bone which in turn are determined by bone's material and …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is a simple, inexpensive and radiation-free technique to study
skeletal status in osteoporosis. Broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) is typically used …

A method of measuring ultrasonic propagation in the os calcis was devised for assessing
bone properties in humans, Speed-of-sound (SOS) and broadband ultrasound attenuation …
