TABLE VII.
Comparison of the correlation coefficients (R) between ultrasound velocity on frontal plane and structural and mechanical parameters shows that UVT-R has significantly better prediction for SMI, BV/TV, BS/BV, Tb.Th, Tb.Sp, and Modulus than UVM-L. N.S. = Non-significant.
| UVM-L | UVT-R | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMI | −0.67 | −0.75 | <0.01 |
| BV/TV | 0.73 | 0.79 | <0.05 |
| BS/BV (1/mm) | −0.56 | −0.64 | <0.05 |
| Tb.N (1/mm) | 0.59 | 0.62 | N.S. |
| Tb.Th (mm) | 0.52 | 0.62 | <0.01 |
| Tb.Sp (mm) | −0.66 | −0.73 | <0.05 |
| DA | 0.28 | 0.24 | N.S. |
| Modulus (MPa) | 0.50 | 0.59 | <0.01 |
