Although the present mainstream of bone diagnosis is still done using X-ray techniques,
safe and inexpensive ultrasonic diagnostic systems have been widespread for the initial …

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone
mass and the deterioration in bone microarchitecture. This study investigates the feasibility …

Collagen is an important biomarker of osteoporosis progression. Noninvasive, multispectral,
photoacoustic (PA) techniques use pulsed laser light to induce PA signals to facilitate the …

This study was designed to investigate the associations among ultrasonic backscatter, bone
densities, and microstructure in bovine cancellous bone. Ultrasonic backscatter …

Our interest in the trabecular alignment within bone stems from the need to better
understand the manner in which it can affect ultrasound propagation, particularly in pedicles …

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the backscattered signal of interest (SOI)
on ultrasonic cancellous bone evaluation. In vitro backscatter measurements were …

In this article, the anisotropic microstructure of a nickel IN718 sample fabricated on a forged
nickel alloy base plate by the Additive Manufacturing (AM) method using the Direct Laser …

Metabolic bone disease of prematurity remains a significant problem for preterm infants.
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has potential as a non-invasive tool for assessing bone …

Photoacoustic (PA) techniques provide optical absorption contrast and spatial information at
an ultrasound resolution in deep biological tissues. Among the greatest challenges …

Ultrasonic backscatter technique has shown promise as a noninvasive cancellous bone
assessment tool. A novel ultrasonic backscatter bone diagnostic (UBBD) instrument and an …
