Objective: To revise and expand the 1996 Osteoporosis Society of Canada clinical practice
guidelines for the management of osteoporosis, incorporating recent advances in diagnosis …

Osteoporosis is now being recognized as a “silent epidemic” and there is an increasing
need to improve its diagnosis and management. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is commonly used in the care of patients for
diagnostic classification of osteoporosis, low bone mass (osteopenia), or normal bone …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) methods have been introduced in recent years for the
assessment of skeletal status in osteoporosis. The performance of QUS techniques has …

We investigated whether quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters are associated with
bone structure. In an in vitro study on 20 cubes of trabecular bone, we measured broadband …

Trabecular bone plays a significant role in maintaining bone structural integrity. Its density is
a significant determinant of bone strength and fracture risk, but there is still unexplained …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) bone measurement is a promising, relatively new technique
for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Unlike to the more established method of bone …

The present study was designed to evaluate the relationships between ultrasonic
backscatter, density, and microarchitecture of cancellous bone. The slopes of the frequency …

Ultrasound is now a clinically accepted modality in the management of osteoporosis. The
most common commercial clinical devices assess fracture risk from measurements of …
