The development of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technologies to measure bone is
motivated by the need to overcome the limitations of X-ray based methods, measuring bone …

Abstract Purpose of Review This paper seeks to evaluate and compare recent advances in
the clinical assessment of the changes in bone mechanical properties that take place as a …

An innovative, non-ionizing technique to diagnose osteoporosis on lumbar spine and
femoral neck was evaluated through a multicenter study involving 1914 women. The …

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 …

Areal bone mineral density (aBMD), as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
(DXA), predicts hip fracture risk only moderately. Simulation of bone mechanics based on …

Tissue level structural and mechanical properties are important determinants of bone
strength. As an individual ages, microstructural changes occur in bone, eg, trabeculae and …

Due to the lack of diagnostics in primary health care, over 75% of osteoporotic patients are
not diagnosed. A new ultrasound method for primary health care is proposed. Results …

Most bone loss during the development of osteoporosis occurs in cortical bone at the
peripheral skeleton. Decreased cortical thickness (Ct. Th) and the prevalence of large pores …

Osteoporosis is defined as a generalized skeletal disorder characterized by compromised
bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fractures. Bone strength denotes the …

The aim of this paper was to investigate the clinical feasibility and the accuracy in femoral
neck densitometry of the Osteoporosis Score (OS), an ultrasound (US) parameter for …
