Scientists use earthquake tech to peer inside bones

NCT ID NCT04396288

Summary

This study tested a new ultrasound method to see and measure blood flow inside bones, which current machines cannot do. Researchers adapted techniques from earthquake science to create images of blood moving in the bone and marrow of healthy volunteers. The goal is to gain knowledge that may one day help diagnose bone diseases like osteoporosis.
