Broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) of the calcaneus predicts axial density in women and is decreased in women who sustain hip fractures. To determine the relationship between ultrasonic and densitometric assessments of bone mass at the same site, BUA and velocity of sound (VOS) were correlated w

As part of a multicenter research project, we compared dual-energ X-ray absorptiometry (IIXA) instruments at three research centers (sites 1,2, and 3) to determine both intra-and intersite variability of bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and bone area (BA). Scans of the total b
## Abstract Relaxation times (T~1~ and T~2~) of the bone marrow protons and trabecular bone volume fraction (TBVF) in the calcaneus were measured for 100 female volunteers using a compact MRI system at 0.2 T field strength. The speed of sound (SOS) through the calcaneus was measured also for the sa
