Using the Doppler Effect to Measure the Vibration of Human Bones: In Vitro Studies

A novel application of ultrasound Doppler theory to the measurement of bone vibration is described. The theory and experimental apparatus is outlined and its initial calibration and in vitro assessment reported. It is speculated that this method may be used clinically in order to monitor in vivo bone fracture healing.
