The results of bone density of the calcaneum measured with ultrasound in 107 menopaused women were compared with reference values provided by the manufacturer of the Walker Sonics machine and with the results of quantitative densitometry obtained with computed tomography of the calcaneum and lumbar vertebrae. The coefficient of correlation was 0.57 for the calcaneum and 0.45 for the vertebrae and was confirmed by the kappa index which was 0.58 and 0.54 respectively, indicating that bone density measurement with ultrasound attenuation is a simple non-invasive non-radiating technique which is a promising method for exploring osteoporosis in menopaused women.
对107名绝经后女性的跟骨进行超声骨密度测量，其结果与Walker Sonics仪器制造商提供的参考值进行了比较，并与通过跟骨和腰椎计算机断层扫描获得的定量骨密度测量结果进行了比较。跟骨的相关系数为0.57，椎骨的相关系数为0.45，kappa指数分别为0.58和0.54，证实了这一点，表明超声衰减骨密度测量是一种简单的非侵入性、无辐射技术，是探索绝经后女性骨质疏松症的一种有前景的方法。
