Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound attenuation in normal and spontaneously degenerated articular cartilage.
Heikki J. Nieminen,Simo Saarakkala,Mikko S. Laasanen,Jani Hirvonen,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Juha Töyräs +5 more
TL;DR: High-frequency ultrasound measurements may provide means for the quantification of articular cartilage quality and suggest that US attenuation and speed may be suited for the diagnostics of cartilage degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental validation of arthroscopic cartilage stiffness measurement using enzymatically degraded cartilage samples
T. Lyyra,Jari Arokoski,Niku Oksala,A Vihko,Mika M. Hyttinen,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Ilkka Kiviranta +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the arthroscopic indentation instrument is capable of detecting early structural and compositional changes related to cartilage degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral density, ultrasound velocity, and broadband attenuation predict mechanical properties of trabecular bone differently.
TL;DR: In vivo mapping of the calcaneus revealed the importance of standardized and reproducible localization of the measurement site for the validity of BUA values, and the most accurate parameters for measuring storage modulus and strength of bovine trabecular bone were SOS and BMD(vol), respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound indentation of normal and spontaneously degenerated bovine articular cartilage
Simo Saarakkala,Mikko S. Laasanen,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Kari Törrönen,Mikko J. Lammi,Reijo Lappalainen,Juha Töyräs +6 more
TL;DR: This study indicates that the ultrasound indentation technique and instrument may significantly improve the early diagnosis of cartilage degeneration and revealed that visual evaluation is insensitive for estimating the structural and mechanical properties of articular cartilage at the initial stages of degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonic characterization of human trabecular bone microstructure.
TL;DR: The two-dimensional numerical model introduced in the present study demonstrated good agreement with the experimental measurements, however, further studies with the simulation model are warranted to systematically investigate the relation between the structural parameters and ultrasound scattering.
