Estimation of Trabecular Thickness Using Ultrasonic Backcatter

We present a method to estimate trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) in trabecular bones from ultrasound backscatter measurements. The estimation scheme is based on a nonlinear adjustment of predictions from a model to experimental data. The model assumes weak scattering from bone, where scattering is assum...
