New ultrasound scan could predict fracture risk without radiation
NCT ID NCT05424536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a portable ultrasound device to measure bone thickness and porosity in 50 adults over 50 years old. The goal was to see if this radiation-free method could help identify people at risk for osteoporotic fractures as accurately as standard X-ray scans. The approach uses sound waves to assess bone quality, potentially offering a cheaper and safer alternative for osteoporosis screening.
