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

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 …

The scattering treated here arises when elastic waves propagate within a heterogeneous
medium defined by random spatial fluctuation of its elastic properties. Whereas classical …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Ultrasound parameters (attenuation, phase velocity, and backscatter), bone mineral density
(BMD), and microarchitectural features were measured on 29 human cancellous calcaneus …

This work proposes a power law model to describe the attenuation of ultrasonic waves in
non-absorbing heterogeneous media with randomly distributed scatterers, mimicking a …

Clinical bone sonometers applied at the calcaneus measure broadband ultrasound
attenuation and speed of sound. However, the relation of ultrasound measurements to bone …

This study was designed to investigate the associations among ultrasonic backscatter, bone
densities, and microstructure in bovine cancellous bone. Ultrasonic backscatter …
