The International Bone Ultrasound Society

Join us for the Non-Sponsored Symposium on the topic “Quantitative Bone Ultrasound Techniques – Current Knowledge and Future Directions“, which will be hosted by WCO-IOF-ESCEO in Prague on Sunday, April 19th, 12:00 – 13:00,.

Join us for the Open Forum on the topic “Why cortical bone matters“, which will be hosted by ECTS in Girona on Friday, April 24th, 10:00 – 12:00,.

We are pleased to announce the results of the recent Bone Ultrasound Society board elections. First, congratulations to Kay Raum, who has been re-elected as President, Quentin Grimal, re-elected as Treasurer, and Jean-Gabriel Minonzio, re-elected as Secretary. We are grateful for their continued leadership. We have also created several new outreach roles to further strengthen engagement and activities within the society. Marie Muller and Chencheng Liu will lead member activities, Christian Langton will oversee scientific & technical activities, and Xiran Cai will serve as deputy of Christian. In addition, Sam Clinard will lead the Quantitative Bone Ultrasound Academy (Q-BA), dedicated to mentorship, education and knowledge sharing across the community. Finally, we would like to sincerely thank Dean Ta and Lawrence Le, who have stepped down from the board, for their valuable service and many contributions to the society. We look forward to continuing to grow and support the Bone Ultrasound community.

We are delighted to announce that the joint 25th Quantitative Musculoskeletal Imaging (QMSKI) Workshop and the 11th International Symposium on Ultrasonic Characterization of Bone (ISUCB) will be held in Hveragerði, Iceland, April 25–30, 2027. Read More

The Quantitative Bone Ultrasound Academy (Q-BA) is a new academic body under the International Bone Ultrasound Society (BoneUS), whose mission is to foster the development of early-career researchers and advance the field of quantitative bone ultrasound. Q-BA provides a professional community for networking, mentorship, and collaboration, offering educational opportunities through seminars, online forums, and biennial meetings. The academy seeks to create an inclusive and supportive training environment that will prepare the next generation of quantitative bone ultrasound researchers

The new book “Quantification of Biophysical Parameters in Medical Imaging” by Ingolf Sack and Tobias Schaeffter offers a comprehensive compendium of physical equations for image reconstruction and motion coding in medical imaging. Material properties of soft tissue are discussed as well as their quantification using imaging measurement techniques. Another part describes biophysics-based approaches used in quantitative medical imaging.
Prof. Raum and his team have contributed a chapter on quantitative bone ultrasound imaging. Click Here
BoneUS has joined the Committee of National Societies of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF). We will inform you about the benefits of the liaison shortly.
