Monitoring fracture healing using acoustic waves
Bone fractures are frequent, lead to a strong decrease in mobility and ability to work, and impose a heavy burden on the economic and public health systems. Quantitative acoustics could offer a new method to monitor bone fracture healing in a non-invasive, portable and inexpensive manner.

Bone fractures are frequent, lead to a strong decrease in mobility and ability to work, and impose a heavy burden on the economic and public health systems. Quantitative acoustics could offer a new method to monitor bone fracture healing in a non-invasive, portable and inexpensive manner.
The goal of this work is to conduct a proof-of-principle experiment on the monitoring of bone fracture healing using axial-transmission quantitative acoustics.
This work includes:
Designing the study
Conducting the experiments
Analysing the results
Requirements:
Well-grounded knowledge on bone biomechanics, anatomy, and fracture healing
Basic understanding of the physics of sound/ultrasound wave propagation in solids
Strong programming skills
