Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is a simple, inexpensive and non-invasive measure of bone
which has been used in research settings for the prediction of osteoporosis. This review …

BONE STRENGTH IS a complex property which we under-stand in only a limited and
incomplete fashion. Bone density and bone strength are highly but imperfectly correlated.(1) …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

To measure the speed of sound (SOS), most quantitative ultrasound (QUS) devices use the
transmission mode, whereby two transducers are placed on opposite sides of the sample …

Bone is a complex biological material that consists of both an inorganic and organic phase,
which undergoes continuous dynamic biological processes within the body. This complex …

Studies in vitro and in vivo have shown that quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is a valid tool for
the assessment of bone status. Current QUS methods using the transmission technique are …

The mechanical competence of bone can be studied through the measurement of the
components of its material elasticity, a property which can vary both in magnitude and in …

This review of quantiative ultrasound (QUS) and bone health uses the current literature to
summarise the clinical and research effectiveness of QUS. QUS has been demonstrated to …

The development of secondary osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has recently
become well recognized, characterized by demineralization at axial and in particular …

There exists a growing body of research that relates the measurement of pressure-wave
velocity in bone to different physiological conditions and treatment modalities. The shear …
