A novel nano-tomography method opens the door to computed tomography examinations of minute structures at nanometer resolutions. Three-dimensional detailed imaging of fragile bone structures becomes ...

Researchers at Fudan University are developing a reconstruction algorithm that enables quantitative bone imaging using ultrasonic computed tomography. (Courtesy: Dean Ta) Osteoporosis is a bone ...

For many years, bone mineral density (BMD) has been used as the gold-standard measure when diagnosing osteoporosis, predicting fracture risk and monitoring response to therapy. Nevertheless, over the ...

It's not just wrinkles that reveal age. A new study finds that changes in bone structure make faces look older, too. While scientists had known there are general bone changes with age, such as bone ...
