This work proposes the use of two physics-based models for wave attenuation to infer the
microstructure of cortical bone-like structures. One model for ultrasound attenuation in …

The ultrasonic backscatter technique holds the promise of characterizing bone density and
microstructure. This paper conducts ultrasonic backscatter parametric imaging based on …

Recently, ultrasound transit time spectroscopy (UTTS) was proposed as a promising method
for bone quantitative ultrasound measurement. Studies have showed that UTTS could …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that quantitative ultrasound
properties of the calcaneus in Southeast Asian children treated for thalassemia have …

In through-transmission interrogation of cancellous bone, two longitudinal pulses (“fast” and
“slow” waves) may be generated. Fast and slow wave properties convey information about …

Background The application of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of
uterine fibroids is becoming increasingly widespread, and postoperative collateral thermal …

Ultrasonic techniques are being developed to detect changes in cancellous bone caused by
osteoporosis. The goal of this study was to test the relative in vivo performance of eight …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: In pedicle screw fixation surgery, rigid instruments are inserted
into a vertebral body. When the instruments are misdirected within the pedicle or advanced …

Relationships of the backscatter coefficient (BC), the apparent integrated backscatter (AIB),
and the integrated reflection coefficient (IRC) with the bone mineral density (BMD) and the …
