Towards assessing cortical bone porosity using low-frequency quantitative acoustics: A phantom-based study.
Cortical porosity is a key characteristic governing the structural properties and mechanical behaviour of bone, and its quantification is therefore critical for understanding and monitoring the development of various bone pathologies such as osteoporosis. Axial transmission quantitative acoustics ha...
