Bone quality is determined by a variety of compositional, micro-and ultrastructural properties
of the mineralized tissue matrix. In contrast to X-ray-based methods, the interaction of …

Multichannel pulse-echo ultrasound using linear arrays and single-channel data acquisition
systems opens new perspectives for the evaluation of cortical bone. In combination with …

This paper focuses on the modeling of the effect of different porosity on the overall elastic
properties of saturated cortical bone and ultrasound wave propagation in such bone. We first …

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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of simultaneous changes in
cortical porosity, tissue mineral density, and elastic properties on radial speed of sound …

Low bone volume and changes in bone quality or microarchitecture may predispose
individuals to fragility fractures. As the dominant component of the human skeleton, cortical …

Transcranial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) enables the
noninvasive treatment of the deep brain. This capacity relies on the ability to focus acoustic …

A rapidly growing area of interest in quantitative ultrasound assessment of bone is to
determine cortical bone porosity from ultrasound backscatter. Current backscatter analyses …

The Biomechanically founded individualised osteoporosis Assessment and treatment
(BioAsset) consortium pursues experimental and clinical studies in the context of skeletal …

Quantitative ultrasound assessment of the cortical compartment of the femur neck (FN) is
investigated with the goal of achieving enhanced fracture risk prediction. Measurements at …
