Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone
mass and the deterioration in bone microarchitecture. This study investigates the feasibility …

In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using photoacoustic time-frequency spectral
analysis (PA-TFSA) for evaluating the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone structure …

The feasibility of an innovative biomedical diagnostic technique, thermal photo-acoustic
(TPA) measurement, for non-ionizing and non-invasive assessment of bone health is …

Background This study examines the backscattered ultrasound (US) and back-propagating
photoacoustic (PA) signals from trabecular bones, and their variations with reduction in bone …

This study examines the application of backscattered ultrasound (US) and photoacoustic
(PA) signals for assessment of bone structure and density variations. Both methods were …

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) of biological tissue offers potential advantages in
distinguishing different structures according to their chemical composition. However, as …

In this chapter, recent piezoelectric and opto-acoustic studies on bone are introduced. The
former are certainly related to ultrasound since piezoelectricity is one of the electro …

Photoacoustic (PA) technique involving both ultrasound and light has been explored for
potential application in the assessment of bone health. The optical and ultrasound …

In this work, the feasibility of photoacoustic time-frequency spectral analysis (PA-TFSA) for
bone microstructure evaluation was investigated. In order to get the main frequency …

The ultimate goal of this work is to develop a novel photoacoustic (QPA) platform for highly-
sensitive and quantitative assessment of bone health. First, the feasibility to perform 3D …
