Quantitative Ultrasound Assessment of Cortical Bone Properties Beyond Bone Mineral Density

This article aims at an overview of recent QUS developments to measure cortical bone properties. We also draw a picture of the current knowledge on bone material properties of interest for bone QUS. We discuss the potential of ultrasound to provide novel biomarkers of bone health through the assessment of material properties.Graphical abstract
