Determination of ultrasound phase velocity in trabecular bone using time dependent phase tracking technique

Abstract

Ultrasound velocity is one of the key acoustic parameters for noninvasive diagnosis of osteoporosis. Ultrasound phase velocity can be uniquely measured from the phase of the ultrasound signal at a specified frequency. Many previous studies used fast Fourier transform (FFT) to determine the phase velocity, which may cause errors due to the limitations of FFT. The new phase tracking technique applied an adaptive tracking algorithm to detect the time dependent phase and amplitude of the ultrasound signal at a specified frequency. This overcame the disadvantages of FFT to ensure the accuracy of the ultrasound phase velocity. As a result, the new method exhibited high accuracy in the measurement of ultrasound phase velocity of two phantom blocks with the error less than 0.4%. 41 cubic trabecular samples from sheep femoral condyles were used in the study. The phase velocity of the samples using the new method had significantly high correlation to the bulk stiffness of the samples (r = 0.84) compared to the phase velocity measured using fast Fourier transform FFT (r = 0.14). In conclusion, the new method provided an accurate measurement of the ultrasound phase velocity in bone.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
