Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) analysis of bone has been suggested to have a level of
performance equal to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the assessment of fracture …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) transmission and backscatter measurements were made in
46 human cancellous bone specimens from the calcaneus. All QUS measurements were …

The elastic modulus (C ii) of the cortical bones of 19 individuals (14 femurs and 16 tibias,
fixed in formalin) was determined ultrasonically. Elastic moduli were measured at four …

In recent years, quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements has played a growing role in
the assessment of skeletal status. This development is attributable to the now wide …

Bone is unique in its ability to maintain its strength in the presence of constant turnover. It
has been established that there is gradual and relatively complete removal and replacement …

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

Osteoporotic fractures follow a period of asymptomatic bone loss and hence bone strength,
predominantly in cancellous bone. An effective management of osteoporosis requires an …

The velocity of ultrasound in human cortical bone has been measured in vivo by a pulse
echo technique. The velocity is reduced in a small group of older females, compared with a …

The measurement of the phase velocity of sound in bone accurately determines the elastic
constants of bone material, as shown by the correlation with mechanical measurements, and …
