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

Bone quality is determined by a variety of compositional, micro-and ultrastructural properties
of the mineralized tissue matrix. In contrast to X-ray-based methods, the interaction 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 …

Objectives Atherothrombosis in the carotid arteries is a main cause of ischemic stroke and
may depend on plaque propensity to complicate with rupture or erosion, in turn related to …

About 75% of patients suffering from osteoporosis are not diagnosed. This study describes a
multi-site bone ultrasound method for osteoporosis diagnostics. In comparison with axial …

Highlights•Identification of vulnerable plaque features is a growing priority.•The authors
review advances in carotid ultrasound methods that detect these features.•Three …

Ultrasound parameters (attenuation, phase velocity, and backscatter), bone mineral density
(BMD), and microarchitectural features were measured on 29 human cancellous calcaneus …

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 …

Ultrasonic backscatter techniques may offer a useful approach for detecting changes in
cancellous bone caused by osteoporosis and other diseases. The goal of this study was to …
