An Electromagnetic Device for Measuring In Vivo Bone Condition

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This is a novel electrical engineering approach to the difficult problem of determining the physical condition of a bone by a non-invasive electromagnetic measurement. A new era is emerging, namely, non-invasive detection of incipient failure of biological and non-biological structures without the use of ionizing radiation. This proposal suggests a new means for accomplishing this goal. It is clear that this is a high-risk high-gain research proposal. If successful, this type of research could revolutionize diagnosis in bone disease and healing.
