Noninvasive Measurement of Bone

      He is developing methods for assessing the skeleton noninvasively so that osteoporosis can be detected early and its progression and response to therapy carefully monitored. Thus, the risk of fracture can be effectively ascertained. These methods include ultrasound, quantitative computed tomography, and magnetic resonance (MR). This project is with Dr. Robert Ogg, Department of Radiology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Dr. Brent Hoffmeister, Department of Physics, Rhodes College.
