Methods: The experimental protocol included three groups of mice: a) control group, b) group with osteoporosis and c) group with osteoporosis and treated with pamidronate, an antiresorptive drug. The evaluation of bone by the VA technique was conducted in an acoustic tank. A confocal ultrasonic transducer generated two high frequency (MHz)… Show more
