Ultrasound Velocity Through the Phalanges in Normal and Osteoporotic Patients
Quantitative ultrasound (US) measurements have been shown to be a new technique assessing bone status. This study aimed to assess a new US...
-
Ultrasound Velocity of Trabecular Cubes Reflects Mainly Bone Density and Elasticity
Studies have indicated that quantitative ultrasound (QUS) variables may be influenced by the mechanical properties of bone which in turn are...
