This work presents the first quantitative ultrasonic sound speed images of ex vivo limb cross-
sections containing both soft tissue and bone using Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) with level …

Cortical bone tissue is an anisotropic material characterized by typically five independent
elastic coefficients (for transverse isotropy) governing shear and longitudinal deformations in …

Most bone loss during the development of osteoporosis occurs in cortical bone at the
peripheral skeleton. Decreased cortical thickness (Ct. Th) and the prevalence of large pores …

The strong dependence between cortical bone elasticity at the millimetre-scale (mesoscale)
and cortical porosity has been evidenced by previous studies. However, bone is an …

The overall mechanical behaviour of cortical bone is strongly dependant on its
microstructure. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) has been widely used to identify the …

Quantitative acoustic microscopy (QAM) at frequencies exceeding 100 MHz has become an
established imaging tool to depict acoustical and mechanical properties of soft biological …

Accounting for spatial variation of trabecular material anisotropy and orientation can improve
the accuracy of quantitative computed tomography-based finite element (FE) modeling of …

Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) is the state-of-the-art method used to investigate
the elastic properties of anisotropic solids. Recently, RUS was applied to measure human …

Dynamic skeletal deformation with ageing showed important signs of degenerative and
osteoporotic diseases. We found that both femoral bowing and cortical thickness were …

Background The sagittal imbalance (SI) of spine triggers compensatory mechanisms (CMs)
of lower extremity (LE) to restore trunk balance. These CMs can cause long‐period stress on …
