Feasibility of Bone Fracture Detection Using Microwave Imaging

Abstract: This paper studies the feasibility of Microwave Imaging (MWI) for detection of fractures in superficial bones like the tibia, using a simple and practical setup. First-responders could use it for fast preliminary diagnosis in emergency locations, where X-Rays are not available. It may prove valuable also for cases where X-ray are not recommended, e.g., length pregnant women or children. The method is inspired on the synthetic aperture radar technique. A single Vivaldi antenna is used to linearly scan the bone … Show more

“…Therefore, to have a higher potential resolution to resolve smaller fractures, the transition toward a higher microwave frequency is needed. SANTOS et al 13 proposed a microwave imaging technique for the diagnosis of fractures in superficial bones. The experimental results demonstrate that at the 8.3–11.1 GHz frequency range, transverse fractures as small as 1 mm can be detected.…”

“…Samothai et al [4] explored the use of you only look once (YOLO) series models for real-time detection in clinical applications. Santos et al [5] took an innovative approach by investigating bone fracture detection using microwave imaging. In the context of artificial intelligence, AlGhaithi & al Maskari [6] discussed the application of AI in bone fracture detection, emphasizing its potential to enhance diagnostic precision.…”
