The excel book actually says that ultrasound isn't used to measure bone density, so i had nfi on that one, had to make up bullshit (should get 2 though).

They use two factors in bone mass densitometry - velocity of sound through the bone, and attentuation of the sound wave by the bone.
More dense bone = faster speed of sound and more attenuation
Healthy bone denser than osteoporotic bone.
Therefore blah blah blah
