| Popis: | Osteoporosis is a prevalent but asymptomatic condition that affects a large population of the elderly, resulting in a high risk of fracture. Several methods have been developed and are available in general hospitals to indirectly assess the bone quality in terms of mineral material level and porosity. In this paper we describe a new method that uses a medical reflex hammer to exert testing stimuli, an electronic stethoscope to acquire impulse responses from tibia, and intelligent signal processing based on artificial neural network machine learning to determine the likelihood of osteoporosis. The proposed method makes decisions from the key components found in the time-frequency domain of impulse responses. Using two common pieces of clinical apparatus, this method might be suitable for the large population screening tests for the early diagnosis of osteoporosis, thus avoiding secondary complications. Following some discussions of the mechanism and procedure, this paper details the techniques of impulse response acquisition using a stethoscope and the subsequent signal processing and statistical machine learning algorithms for decision making. Pilot testing results achieved over 80% in detection sensitivity. |
