Accurate measurement of cortical bone parameters may improve fracture risk assessment
and help clinicians on the best treatment strategy. Patients at risk of fracture are currently …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements at peripheral sites can be used to estimate
osteoporotic fracture risk. However, measurements at these sites are less suitable to predict …

Recent ultrasound (US) axial transmission techniques exploit the multimode waveguide
response of long bones to yield estimates of cortical bone structure characteristics. This pilot …

Our objective was to assess a new quantitative ultrasound device suitable for the
measurement of speed of sound in radius. The so-called “bidirectional” technique allows an …

Measurements of ultrasound velocity were performed in the tibia in a group of 89 female
subjects (mean age 50 6 years). Velocity and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) …

In this cross-sectional study, 95 postmenopausal women, with and without fracture history,
were measured by low-frequency axial transmission ultrasound. The measured ultrasound …

Osteoporosis is still a worldwide problem, particularly due to associated fragility fractures.
Patients at risk of fracture are currently detected using the X-Ray gold standard dual-energy …

Axial transmission velocity of a low-frequency first arriving signal (V LF) was assessed in the
radius and tibia of 254 females, and compared to site-matched pQCT measurements. V LF …

Objectives To develop and evaluate a method for areal bone mineral density (aBMD)
measurement based on dual-layer spectral CT scout scans. Methods A post-processing …

Background: Most bone ultrasound devices are designed for through-transmission
measurements of the calcaneus. In principle, ultrasound backscattering measurements are …
