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

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 …

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 …

Three-dimensional numerical simulations of ultrasound transmission were performed
through 31 trabecular bone samples measured by synchrotron microtomography. The …

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

The present study was designed to assess the relationships between QUS parameters and
bone density or microarchitecture on samples of human femoral trabecular bone. The …

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

The strength as well as the acoustic properties of trabecular bone are determined by its
structure and composition. Consequently, tissue structure and compositional properties also …

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 …

New quantitative ultrasound (QUS) techniques involving ultrasound backscattering have
been introduced for the assessment of bone quality. QUS parameters are affected by the …
