Abstract
Device and procedure for detecting irregularities in the bone system is presented; it can assess fractures, lesions, osteoporosis or irregularities in vivo. The resonance system is found or a system characteristic frequency is transmitted in order to determinate density bone or its sound propagation. This patented procedure bases its operation through a trans- mitter and a receiver in surface contact, just over the bone evaluated, which one is simultaneously observed on a screen, and it is also possible to storage measurements for subsequent assessments. Preliminary measurements determined that the dominant frequency for evaluated femoral bones in several subject is around 160 Hz, this suggests that this procedure is power for the proposed assessments in neonates.
