Broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), a radiation-free and portable technology, may be useful in assessing bone density and fracture risk. In this study, we compared cross-sectional BUA measurements to the more established single energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements of bone mineral density (BM
Bone density of the spine and femoral neck and broadband ultrasound attenuation of the calcaneus were measured in 111 normal Spanish women between the ages of 30 and 70 years. The cross-sectional study showed that spine and hip density decreased by 36 and 29%, respectively, and the ultrasound attenu
