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

An understanding of the interaction between acoustic waves and cancellous bone is needed
in order to realize the full clinical potential of ultrasonic bone measurements. Scattering is …

The technology surrounding ultrasonic bone assessment is evolving rapidly as investigators
explore the utility of new ultrasonic parameters and different ultrasonic frequencies. This …

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 …

We report a study of ultrasound velocity and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) in
human cancellous bone samples. The influence of density and microarchitecture on …

Previous studies have shown that interference between fast waves and slow waves can lead
to observed negative dispersion in cancellous bone. In this study, the effects of overlapping …

Ultrasonic propagation in bone has been investigated using the Leeds Ultrasonic Bone
Phantom Material. Phantoms were produced with different porosities in the range of 45 …

Trabecular bone plays a significant role in maintaining bone structural integrity. Its density is
a significant determinant of bone strength and fracture risk, but there is still unexplained …

Measurement of ultrasonic attenuation and velocity in cancellous bone are being applied to
aid diagnosis of women with high fracture risk due to osteoporosis. However, velocity …

This study investigated the ability of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) to detect reductions in the
elastic modulus of cancellous bone caused by mechanical damage. Ultrasonic velocity and …
