TL;DR: The DFUS technique may significantly enhance the accuracy of clinical ultrasound measurements of bone by eliminating the soft-tissue-induced error from IRC measured for the bone.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for measuring thicknesses of materials of multilayered structure was proposed, which includes transmitting one or more ultrasound signals including different frequencies into a multilayer structure consisting of two or more materials with one or multiple ultrasound transducers, measuring materials, acoustic properties for which are different at the frequencies in use, measuring ultrasound signals reflected from the front surface and back surface of the multilayed structure with a single or more transducer and determining thickness of the materials within multilayers from the reflected ultrasound signals.

TL;DR: Ultrasound backscatter parameters, measured from intact proximal femurs, are significantly related to structural properties and mineral density of trabecular bone.

TL;DR: The present results are encouraging; however, further technical development of the arthroscopic ultrasound technique is needed for evaluation of the integrity of human articular cartilage in vivo.

TL;DR: For articular cartilage standard and modified PAS methods are useful procedures for demonstrating local changes of glycoproteins and chondroitin sulphate, respectively.
