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 …

Ultrasonic Lamb waves have been widely used for non-destructive evaluation and testing.
However, the inversion from the measured guided signals to the material properties is still a …

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

Multimodal and dispersive characteristics of ultrasonic guided waves (GWs) cause the wave-
packet overlapping in time domain and frequency domain, which challenges the signal …

Ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) propagating in the long cortical bone can be measured via
the axial transmission method. The characterization of long cortical bone using UGW is a …

We experimentally investigate and characterize high order Lamb wave modes in a dry
human skull. Specifically, we show that the diploë supports distinct wave modes in the sub …

The aim of this study was to estimate cortical porosity (Ct. Po) and cortical thickness (Ct. Th)
using 500-kHz bi-directional axial transmission (AT). Ct. Th AT and Ct. Po AT were obtained …

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 …

Multichannel pulse-echo ultrasound using linear arrays and single-channel data acquisition
systems opens new perspectives for the evaluation of cortical bone. In combination with …

Bone fractures are caused by diseases or accidents and are a widespread problem
throughout the globe. Worldwide, 1.6 millions of hip fractures occur every year and are …
