Abstract
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) analysis of calcaneal bone is useful to quantify fracture risk, and in monitoring response to treatment and identifying bone changes associated with disease and medication. However, diagnosis of osteoporosis by QUS measurements remains contentious, but the problems are due to the limitations of the present T-scores rather than the technique. QUS offers the potential for the widespread detection of low bone mass and subsequent management and prevention of fracture.
