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

Although it has been more than 20 years since the first recorded use of a quantitative
ultrasound (QUS) technology to predict bone fragility, the field has not yet reached its …

In a study involving 10 different sites, independent results of measurements of ultrasonic
properties on equivalent tissue‐mimicking samples are reported and compared. The …

The present study was designed to evaluate the relationships between ultrasonic
backscatter, density, and microarchitecture of cancellous bone. The slopes of the frequency …

A model describing the frequency dependence of backscatter coefficient from trabecular
bone is presented. Scattering is assumed to originate from the surfaces of trabeculae, which …

This paper reviews theory, measurements, and computer simulations of scattering from
cancellous bone reported by many laboratories. Three theoretical models (binary mixture …

The goal of this study is to model the frequency dependence of the ultrasonic backscatter
coefficient in cancellous bone. A twofold theoretical approach has been adopted: the …

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 …

The ultrasound (US) backscattering method has been introduced as an alternative for the
through-transmission measurement of sound attenuation and speed in diagnosis of …

Ultrasound (US) backscatter measurements have been proposed for the quantitative
evaluation of bone quality. In this study, we explored the ability of broadband US backscatter …
