Quantitative ultrasound seems to be useful as a method of primary screening for osteoporosis. We compared stiffness (calculated from the combined data of SOS and BUA) with BMD. Thirty-eight females who recorded stiffness of less than 62 using quantitative ultrasound (Achilless, Lunar) were selected as subjects. The average age of the patients was fifty-eight years. BMD of their lumber spine, femoral neck and total body was analyzed with DXA (DPX-L, Lunar). The data were compared with stiffness. BMD of the lumber spine, femoral neck and total body were not significantly correlated with stiffness (r=0.150, 0.153 and 0.238). This fact indicates that further investigation is required regarding quantitative ultrasound as a screening method for osteoporosis.
