Quantitative assessment of surface roughness using backscattered ultrasound: The effects of finite surface curvature
(Elsevier, 1994)
We have previously described a technique to quantify surface fibrillatory changes in osteoarthritic articular cartilage. In that study, the angular distribution of the scattered acoustic field from an insonifying source ...
Quantitative assessment of cartilage surface roughness in osteoarthritis using high frequency ultrasound
(Elsevier, 1992)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease which affects nearly 50% of people over age 60. Histologic evaluation suggests that fibrillations ~20-150 [mu]m are among the earliest changes in the articular cartilage. We propose ...
