Low-energy fractures resulting from osteoporosis lead to severe complications and patient mortality, diminish quality of life, and represent a serious medical, social, and economic burden for society. Timely diagnosis of the disease and prediction of fracture risk remain largely unresolved issues, requiring the development and implementation of new technologies. Radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry is an innovative ultrasound-based technique for diagnosing osteoporosis and assessing fracture risk. Its main advantage over other ultrasound densitometry methods is the assessment of bone status not in peripheral skeletal sites, but in the principal regions used for diagnosing the disease—the lumbar vertebrae and the proximal femur. Unlike dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, considered the gold standard, radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry does not measure bone mineral density but instead assesses integral parameters of bone status by comparing the spectra of ultrasound signals reflected from the bone surface in patients with osteoporosis, healthy individuals, and individuals with a history of low-energy fractures. An important advantage of radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry is the portability of its equipment, which increases accessibility in remote regions and for less mobile patient groups. International studies have demonstrated a high level of concordance between radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry findings, providing the basis for recommending this new technique for clinical use in patients with osteoporosis in several countries. At the same time, the different underlying principle of the method offers potential benefits that still require further validation. This article reviews the potential applications and unresolved issues of radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry based on analysis of the current scientific data. The authors also present several clinical examples of radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry application in patients with osteoporosis and hereditary systemic diseases and discuss the outcomes of its use.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Остеопороз — метаболическое заболевание скелета, характеризующееся снижением массы костной ткани, нарушением её микроархитектоники и повышением риска переломов. Низкоэнергетические переломы, происходящие вследствие остеопороза, приводят к тяжёлым осложнениям и смерти пациентов, ухудшают качество их жизни и являются серьёзным медико-социальным и экономическим бременем для общества. Своевременная диагностика заболевания и прогнозирование риска переломов до сих пор являются в значительной степени нерешёнными проблемами, требующими создания и внедрения новых технологий. Радиочастотная эхографическая мультиспектрометрия — это новый перспективный ультразвуковой метод, используемый в диагностике остеопороза и оценке риска переломов при этом заболевании. Его главное преимущество над другими методами ультразвуковой денситометрии — оценка состояния костной ткани не периферических отделов скелета, а ведущих для диагностики заболевания участков — поясничных позвонков и проксимального отдела бедренной кости. В отличие от считающейся золотым стандартом двухэнергетической рентгеновской абсорбциометрии, радиочастотная эхографическая мультиспектрометрия не измеряет минеральную плотность костной ткани, а оценивает интегральные показатели её состояния, сравнивая спектры отражённого ультразвукового сигнала от поверхности кости у пациентов с остеопорозом, здоровых людей и лиц, перенёсших низкоэнергетические переломы. Важным преимуществом радиочастотной эхографической мультиспектрометрии является мобильность оборудования, повышающая доступность исследования в регионах и для маломобильных групп пациентов. Проведённые международные исследования продемонстрировали высокую степень соответствия результатов, полученных при помощи радиочастотной эхографической мультиспектрометрии и двухэнергетической рентгеновской абсорбциометрии, что дало основание рекомендовать новую методику для клинического использования у пациентов с остеопорозом в ряде стран. В то же время иной принцип действия нового метода несёт потенциальные преимущества, которые пока ещё требуют валидации. В статье на основании анализа приведённой научной литературы рассматриваются потенциальные возможности нового метода и нерешённые вопросы его использования. Авторами также представлено несколько собственных клинических примеров обследования пациентов с остеопорозом и наследственными системными заболеваниями методом радиочастотной эхографической мультиспектрометрии и рассмотрены результаты его применения.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>osteoporosis</kwd><kwd>densitometry</kwd><kwd>radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry</kwd><kwd>dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>остеопороз</kwd><kwd>денситометрия</kwd><kwd>радиочастотная эхографическая мультиспектрометрия</kwd><kwd>двухэнергетическая рентгеновская абсорбциометрия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Belaya ZhE, Belova KYu, Biryukova EV, et al.
