To evaluate ultrasound transmission velocity (UTV) for assessment of mechanical bone quality, an ex vivo comparison of different bone types measured with UTV, 2-dimensional (2D) histomorphometry and with 3-dimensional (3D) radiology (cone-beam computerized tomography [CBCT], computerized microtomography [μCT]) was conducted.
Clinical cortical, cancellous, and mixed bone (each n = 6) was measured via UTV (m/s), CBCT (white pixel/black pixel ratio [WP/BP]), μCT (bone volume/total volume [μBV/TV]), and histomorphometry (bone volume/total volume [hBV/TV]). UTV values were correlated with 2D-histomorphometry and 3D-radiologic results.
For the cortical, cancellous, and mixed bone samples, respectively, UTV values were 1,945.17, 1,266.9,and 1472.2 m/s, WP/BP quotients were 0.96, 0.15, and 0.33, μBV/TV quotients were 0.94, 0.2, and 0.47, and hBV/TV quotients were 0.96, 0.24 and 0.39. Significant correlations between UTV and the other methods were seen (P < .0001).
Similar to the other methods, UTV is able to discriminate between different bone types ex vivo.
评估超声传播速度(UTV)在评估机械骨质量方面的作用,对不同骨类型进行体外比较,分别采用 UTV、二维(2D)组织形态计量学和三维(3D)放射学(锥形束计算机断层扫描 [CBCT]、计算机微断层扫描 [μCT])进行测量。
通过 UTV(m/s)、CBCT(白像素/黑像素比值 [WP/BP])、μCT(骨体积/总体积 [μBV/TV])和组织形态计量学(骨体积/总体积 [hBV/TV])对临床皮质骨、松质骨和混合骨(每组 n = 6)进行测量。将 UTV 值与 2D 组织形态计量学和 3D 放射学结果进行相关性分析。
分别为皮质骨、松质骨和混合骨样本的 UTV 值为 1945.17、1266.9 和 1472.2 m/s,WP/BP 比值为 0.96、0.15 和 0.33,μBV/TV 比值为 0.94、0.20 和 0.47,hBV/TV 比值为 0.96、0.24 和 0.39。UTV 与其他方法之间存在显著相关性(P <.0001)。
与其他方法一样,UTV 能够在体外区分不同的骨类型。
