BONE FRACTURE DETECTION

摘要

Apparatus for detecting a fracture in a bone, the apparatus comprising: an electric field generator (210), configured to generate an electric field in proximity of the bone, at a predefined frequency range, the generated electric field being substantially parallel to longitudinal axis of the bone; an electric field measurer (220), associated with the electric field generator, and configured to measure intensity values of the generated electric field over the predefined frequency range, and an analyzer (230), associated with the electric field measurer, and configured to analyze the intensity values measured over the predefined frequency range, thereby to detect the fracture in the bone.
