Quantitative ultrasound densitometry is perspective new method allowing to evaluate the condition of the bone tissue by passing speed of the ultrasound wave through the bone (SOS-speed of sound) and due to the size of its attenuation in the bone (BUA--broadband ultrasound attenuation), and due to Z-criteria (Z-score).
