Bone density and quality measurement using ultrasound.

摘要: Techniques for measuring bone mineral density have been widely accepted the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis. These techniques are clinically feasible, their fracture prediction capability has proven in numerous studies. However, it demonstrated that strength risk affected not only by but also other skeletal features including composition microarchitecture. Available some disadvantages because they offer limited ability to assess quality, relatively expensive, use ionizing radiation.
