Abstract Comprising~ 20% of the volume, water is a key determinant of the mechanical
behavior of cortical bone. It essentially exists in two general compartments: within pores and …

Cortical bone has an important role in determining bone strength. The loss of strength is the
result of intracortical and endocortical remodeling imbalance that produces cortical porosity …

In this work, the viability of producing biogenic hydroxyapatite from bio-waste animal bones,
namely bovine (cow), caprine (goat) and galline (chicken), through a heat treatment process …

Porous bone substitutes built with additive manufacturing provide an opportunity for
mimicking natural bone with complicated structures and excellent properties. However, the …

Osteocytes, the most numerous bone cells, are thought to be actively involved in the bone
modeling and remodeling processes. The morphology of osteocyte is hypothesized to adapt …

Bone remodeling is a process involving removal of mature bone tissue and subsequent
formation of new bone tissue. This process is driven by complex actions of biological cells …

Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) allows to accurately characterize the complete set
of elastic constants of an anisotropic material from a set of measured mechanical resonant …

Current clinical ultrasound scanners cannot be used to image the interior morphology of
bones because these scanners fail to address the complicated physics involved for exact …

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 …

This paper reports for the first time on inverse estimation of several bone properties from
guided-wave measurements in human bone samples. Previously, related approaches have …
