The relationship between ultrasonic backscatter and bone mineral density in human calcaneus
Backscatter and attenuation coefficients were measured from 24 human calcanei in vitro. The logarithm of the backscatter coefficient at 500 kHz showed moderate correlations with bone mineral density (r=0.81, 95% confidence interval: 0.59-0.91) and attenuation (r=0.79, 95% CI: 0.56-0.91). These resul...
