Quantitative ultrasound in adults with cystic fibrosis: correlation with bone mineral density and risk of vertebral fractures

In several conditions, including cystic fibrosis (CF) and corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis, bone mineral density (BMD) measurements provide a modest prediction of fracture risk. We investigated in adult CF patients whether quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters were able to discriminate between...
