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

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

For medical applications of ultrasound inside the brain, it is necessary to understand the
relationship between the apparent density of skull bone and its corresponding speed of …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is now accepted as a useful tool in the management of
osteoporosis. There are a variety of QUS devices clinically available with a number of …

Established medical imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging and
computed tomography rely on well-validated tissue-simulating phantoms for standardized …

The acoustic behavior of cancellous bone with regard to its complex poroelastic nature has
been investigated. The existence of two longitudinal modes of propagation is demonstrated …

Our goal is to assess the potential of computational methods as an alternative to analytical
models to predict the two longitudinal wave modes observed in cancellous bone and …

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

As photoacoustic imaging (PAI) begins to mature and undergo clinical translation, there is a
need for well-validated, standardized performance test methods to support device …

Acoustic wave propagation in bovine cancellous bone is experimentally and theoretically
investigated in the frequency range of 0.5–1 MHz. The phase velocity, attenuation …
