Imaging of ultrasound specularity at cortical bone interfaces to detect unbalanced remodeling: A preliminary study
Amadou S. Dia, Salomé Vignat, Guillaume Renaud +1
The region near the interface between cortical bone and the medullary cavity (the endosteal surface) is of particular interest for the early detection of osteoporosis. This region…
Quantitative ultrasound imaging of bone: anatomical images, tissue structural quality, and pulsatile blood flow
Gabrielle Laloy-Borgna, Nastassia Navasiolava, Pim Hutting +12
We propose an ultrasound approach which provides, with one single examination and one single device, access to three bone biomarkers: anatomy, tissue quality and blood flow. It unl…
Refraction corrected specular beamforming applied to cortical bone enhances interface visibility of bone-soft tissues interfaces
Amadou S. Dia, Quentin Grimal, Guillaume Renaud
Ultrasound imaging of the cortex of long bones may enable the measurement of the cortical thickness and the ultrasound wave speed in cortical bone tissue. However, with bone loss,…
Ultrasound imaging of cortical bone: cortex geometry and measurement of porosity based on wave speed for bone remodeling estimation
Amadou S. Dia, Guillaume Renaud, Christine Chappard +1
Intracortical US imaging extends B-mode imaging into bone using a dedicated image reconstruction algorithm that corrects for refraction at the bone-soft tissue interfaces. It has s…
