Develop and Validate Ultrasonic Device for Osteoporotic Fracture Risk Assessment

Completed

Conditions studied: Osteoporosis, Fracture, Aging

In brief

Measurements derived from the BUSS parameters will be able to discriminate between postmenopausal women with osteoporotic fractures when compared to matched controls without history of osteoporotic fracture.
