Femoral Skeletal Growth in Early Infancy Assessed by Radiofrequency Echographic Multi‐Spectrometry

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Radiofrequency echographic multi‐spectrometry (REMS) acquisition of raw ultrasound radiofrequency signals from neonatal bone. Signals undergo preprocessing and frequency‐domain analysis to extract spectral features reflecting bone properties. A software‐guided procedure then identifies and selects standardized regions of interest (ROIs).
