Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has emerged as a convenient and popular screening tool for
osteoporosis. This review aimed to provide basic information on the principle of QUS …

Ultrasound is now a clinically accepted modality in the management of osteoporosis. The
most common commercial clinical devices assess fracture risk from measurements of …

We investigated the possible clinical feasibility and accuracy of an innovative ultrasound
(US) method for diagnosis of osteoporosis of the spine. A total of 342 female patients (aged …

Currently, the accepted “gold standard” method for bone mineral density (BMD)
measurement and osteoporosis diagnosis is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) …

This work proposes a power law model to describe the attenuation of ultrasonic waves in
non-absorbing heterogeneous media with randomly distributed scatterers, mimicking a …

The study described here was aimed at investigating the feasibility of using the ultrasonic
through-transmission technique to estimate human musculoskeletal and fat properties. Five …

This study was designed to investigate the associations among ultrasonic backscatter, bone
densities, and microstructure in bovine cancellous bone. Ultrasonic backscatter …

The goal of this study is to estimate micro-architectural parameters of cortical porosity such
as pore diameter (φ), pore density (ρ) and porosity (ν) of cortical bone from ultrasound …

Aim of this paper was to assess the discrimination power of a novel ultrasound (US)
parameter, called the Fragility Score (FS), in the early identification of subjects prone to …

Ultrasonic backscatter techniques are being developed to detect changes in cancellous
bone caused by osteoporosis. Many techniques are based on measurements of the …
