Assessing Bones with Ultrasound

Monday, March 31, 2025
8:00am - 9:30am .
Location:FL Salon I
CE: 1.5

This session explores the role of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for assessing bone anomalies, particularly in detecting and monitoring osteoporosis. Participants will delve into the principles of ultrasonic wave propagation and its interactions with anisotropic bone tissue, gaining a foundational understanding of how ultrasound can reveal changes in bone density and structure. The session will also cover recent advancements in ultrasound technology for osteoporosis assessment, highlighting its effectiveness in clinical applications.
