Although it has been more than 20 years since the first recorded use of a quantitative
ultrasound (QUS) technology to predict bone fragility, the field has not yet reached its …

Photoacoustic techniques have shown promise in identifying molecular changes in bone
tissue and visualizing tissue microstructure. This capability represents significant …

Existing ultrasound devices for assessing the human tibia are based on detecting the first
arriving signal, corresponding to a wave propagating at, or close to, the bulk longitudinal …

Recent progress in quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has shown increasing interest toward
measuring long bones by ultrasonic guided waves. This technology is widely used in the …

Quantitative ultrasound has great potential for assessing human bone quality. Considered
as an elastic waveguide, long bone supports propagation of several guided modes, most of …

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 …

Multiple acoustic wave mode method has been proposed as a new modality in axial bone
QUS. The new method is based on measurement of ultrasound velocity at different ratio of …

Recent progress in quantitative ultrasound has exploited the multimode waveguide
response of long bones. Measurements of the guided modes, along with suitable waveguide …

In this study, the effect of cortical thickness variation on the propagation of leaky Lamb
waves is investigated by using an axial transmission technique commonly used to …

The last decade has seen a surge in the development of axial transmission QUS
(Quantitative UltraSound) technologies for the assessment of long bones using various …
