Quantitative Ultrasound Technology in Evaluating Bone Status and Osteoporosis in Patients with Cushing's Syndrome
Osteoporosis is a major feature of Cushing's syndrome (CS), and fragility fractures may be the first sign of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of quantitative ultrasound technology (QUS) in diagnosing osteoporosis in patients with CS. Sixty-three consecutive patients (mean age 38.6  13.0 years), 13 (20.6%) men and 50 (79.4%) women, with confirmed CS underwent both dual-energy X-ray densitometry (DXA) and QUS. Two groups of patients were selecte
