A novel quantitative and reference-free ultrasound analysis to discriminate different concentrations of bone mineral content

Abstract Bone fracture is a continuous process, during which bone mineral matrix evolves leading to an increase in hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate content. Currently, no gold standard methods are available for a quantitative assessment of bone fracture healing. Moreover, the available tools do...
