Revealing Intraosseous Blood Flow in the Human Tibia With Ultrasound
ABSTRACT Intraosseous blood circulation is thought to have a critical role in bone growth and remodeling, fracture healing, and bone disorders. However, it is rarely considered in clinical practice because of the absence of a suitable noninvasive in vivo measurement technique. In this work, we asses...

ABSTRACT Intraosseous blood circulation is thought to have a critical role in bone growth and remodeling, fracture healing, and bone disorders.
