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

We present here a quantitative ultrasound tomographic method yielding a sub-mm
resolution, quantitative 3D representation of tissue characteristics in the presence of high …

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 …

This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) analytical solution for the acoustic response
of cancellous bone-like porous materials saturated with a viscous fluid. The effect of dynamic …

Despite the ubiquity of ultrasonography in nondestructive inspection, its application to high-
attenuation materials is challenging. At frequencies less than 1 MHz, ultrasound can inspect …

A temporal model based on the Biot theory is developed to describe the transient ultrasonic
propagation in porous media with elastic structure, in which the viscous exchange between …

Ultrasonics is an important diagnostic tool for bone diseases, as it allows for non-invasive
assessment of bone tissue quality through mass density–elasticity relationships. The latter …

The water-saturated aluminum foams with an open network of interconnected ligaments
were investigated by ultrasonic transmission technique for the suitability as cancellous bone …

Previous studies have shown that interference between fast waves and slow waves can lead
to observed negative dispersion in cancellous bone. In this study, the effects of overlap** …

Ultrasound waves have a broad range of clinical applications as a non-destructive testing
approach in imaging and in the diagnoses of medical conditions. Generally, biological …
