Assessing bone quality of the spine in children with scoliosis using the ultrasound reflection frequency amplitude index method: a preliminary study

S Song, H Chen, C Li, E Lou, LH Le, R Zheng - Ultrasound in Medicine & …, 2022 - Elsevier
Osteopenia is considered a common phenomenon in patients who have scoliosis.
Quantitative ultrasound has been used to assess skeletal status for decades, and recently
ultrasound imaging using reflection signals from vertebrae were as well applied to measure
spinal curvatures in children with scoliosis. The objectives of this study were to develop a
new method that can robustly extract a parameter from ultrasound spinal data for estimating
bone quality of scoliotic patients and to investigate the potential of the parameter in …
