Mechanical Sensor Teams Up With Ultrasound for Bone Monitoring

Scientists at Empa, a Swiss research institute, have developed a mechanical pressure sensor that can be embedded within orthopedic implants, ... in the spiral changes. This level is measured with the help of an ultrasonic device, and the resulting data allows the mechanical loading on the implant to be calculated. The ultrasonic image is, however, [more...]
