Experimental Characterization of an Eis-based Method for Low- Invasive Diagnosis of Prosthesis Osseointegration
نویسندگان
چکیده
A digital measurement method for lowinvasive clinical diagnosis of metallic prosthesis osseointegration was proposed. Electrical impedance spectroscopy is exploited to characterize the quality of the interface bone-prosthesis tissue. In this paper, in vitro and in vivo experimental results of the application of the proposed method to the evaluation of osseointegration of metallic implants used for percutaneous fixation are shown with a specific clinical case study in audiology. In particular, a cochlear implant BAHA ® from Cochlear TM with direct bone conduction was used. In vivo measurements were performed on children with fixtures implanted respectively 7, 9, and 18 months before the test.

متن کاملDiagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease using Neuro-fuzzy-based Method
Background & Aim: Coronary artery disease is one of the most common diseases in different societies. Coronary angiography is established as one of the best methods for diagnosis of this disease. Angiography is an invasive and costly method. Furthermore, it is associated with risks such as death, heart attack, and stroke. Thus, this study introduces a neuro-fuzzy-based method which can help the ...

Condition monitoring and protection methods based on the analysis of the machine's current are widely used according to non-invasive characteristics of current transformers. It should be noted that, these sensors are installed by default in the machine control center. On the other hand, condition monitoring based on mathematical methods has been proposed in literature. However, they are model b...

Introduction: Recently the most accurate diagnostic method in the diagnosis of prosthesis infection is the combination of Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow imaging. However the diagnostic efficiency of the test is influenced because of its low spatial resolution. Recently SPECT/CT imaging is implicated in this test with efficient additional diagnostic improvement. In the dep...
متن کاملMeasurement of dental implant stability by resonance frequency analysis: a review of the literature.
Dental implant treatment is an excellent option for prosthetic restoration that is associated with high success rates. Implant stability is essential for a good outcome. The clinical assessment of osseointegration is based on mechanical stability rather than histological criteria, considering primary stability (absence of mobility in bone bed after implant insertion) and secondary stability (bo...
