“…The main purpose of the study is the evaluation and sensing of bone mineral density (BMD). The focus of 18 is similar with 14 which is not exactly for bone healing presented in our study. Besides, the selected frequency range is not as higher as our study to improve the sensitivity.…”

“…The chosen frequency and the band width are quite high upto 10.6 and 7.5 GHz, respectively. In 9,10,12,14 and, 18 bone crack detection have been studied in various frequency range. In, 9 the bone crack detections have been investigated between 1–4 GHz with a bandwidth of 3 GHz by using implanted antennas in the radius, tibia, and phalange heterogeneous bone phantoms.…”

“…Whereas 14 is designed for bone mineral density analysis, the proposed approach in this study is the detection of bone healing with very high frequency and bandwidth. In, 18 microwave sensing of human bone health evaluation has been studied between 3–7 GHz frequency range. The main purpose of the study is the evaluation and sensing of bone mineral density (BMD).…”

A medical imaging system is often required to monitor bone growth or bone healing in patients. X-ray imaging method is one of the most used imaging systems but it affects human health due to the ionizing effect of X-rays on matter. In this paper, authors investigated the healing period of a bone structure by using electromagnetic antennas. Two different design approaches were examined which are the monopole antenna approach and the horn antenna approach with the frequency bands of 4-10 and 3-18 GHz, respectively.According to simulation results of the first scenario, radius change of a circular bone from 1 to 8 mm causes a transmission reduction from À13.5 dB to À20 dB at 7 GHz. In the second scenario, the thickness of the bone changed from 0.05 to 20 mm and the corresponding transmission value is reduced from À5 to À25 dB at 10 GHz of constant frequency. All these two approaches showed that the bone variation with time changes the transmission characteristics of detector antennas at the operating frequencies. In the last step of this study, an experimental measurement is carried out by using two opposite horn antennas and a planar bone structure in microwave laboratory. The measured results are in a good agreement with the simulated results in the second scenario. This study gives an opportunity to determine bone healing periods in medical applications by microwave techniques.
