摘要: Osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases that leads to bone fractures. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry currently employed measure mineral density and diagnose osteoporosis. Alternatively, dielectric properties bones are found be influenced by density; hence, may potentially used Microwave tomographic imaging in development vivo bone. Therefore, foci this work summarize all available data microwave frequency range analyze confounders have resulted variations reported data. This study also compares relationship between quality across different studies. The review suggests exist volume fraction agreement Conversely, evidence a inconsistent summary along with comparison will accelerate devices for monitoring Graphical abstract ᅟ.
