The paper deals with the review of acoustic
emission technique in biomedical field. The re-
view is done with the aim to provide an ov erview
of the use of AE technique in biomedical field,
mainly co ncentrated on the AE beha vior o f bone
under different loading conditions, its depend-
ence on strain rate, in osteoporosis, monitoring
the fracture healing process of bone. The over-
all conclusion from the review was that almost
all the studies in bone indicated that the initial
AE occurs only in the plastic region and just
prior to yield. That means the use of AE tech-
nique for clinical application cannot be consid-
ered as a safe technique, but the early occur-
rence of AE events from callus promises the
application of AE technique for monitoring the
fracture healing process. The negligible effect
of soft tissues on AE response of bone prom-
ises AE to become a non-invasive method for
assessment of bone condition |
