Abstract
The ''in vivo'' impulse response of long bones was investigated with the object of assessing the reliability of data taken under various conditions. The ultimate goal of the research is to develop a non-invasive method monitoring the healing of long bones. A spectrum analyser was developed specifically for this investigation and is presented here.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
