Abstract

Dielectric properties of bones have recently got significant attention to monitor bone quality. This paper reports in-vitro dielectric properties of human trabecular bone samples obtained from osteoporotic and osteoarthritic patients. The measurements were performed by using open-ended coaxial probe technique. The study further focuses on intra-femoral head variation of dielectric properties within two patients, and inter-disease comparison of bone dielectric properties between osteoporotic and osteoarthritic patients. The results suggest that dielectric properties significantly vary between different parts of femoral head within each patient and mean relative permittivity of osteoarthritic patient is higher in magnitude when compared to osteoporotic patient. The difference is observed more in relative permittivity profiles of each patient’s bone samples than conductivity profiles.
对骨介电特性变化的洞察:电磁医疗设备的基础
骨的介电特性是近年来监测骨质量的重要手段。本文报道了从骨质疏松症和骨关节炎患者获得的人小梁骨样品的体外介电特性。测量采用开放式同轴探头技术。本研究进一步关注两例患者股骨头内介电特性的变化,以及骨质疏松症和骨关节炎患者骨介电特性的疾病间比较。结果表明,每位患者股骨头不同部位的介电常数存在显著差异,骨关节炎患者的平均相对介电常数高于骨质疏松症患者。在每个患者骨样本的相对介电常数谱中观察到的差异大于电导率谱。
