Ultrasonic monitoring of bone fracture healing. IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control [IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control] Journal article

Quantitative ultrasound has attracted significant interest in the evaluation of bone fracture healing. Animal and clinical studies have demonstrated that the propagation velocity across fractured bones can be used as an indicator of healing. Researchers have recently employed computational methods for modeling wave propagation in bones, aiming to gain insight into the underlying mechanisms of wave propagation and to further enhance the monitoring capabilities of ultrasound. In this paper, we review the relevant literature and present the current status of knowledge.
