Abstract

With the aging population increasing, the Osteoporosis (OP) in aging people is rising, and it has an important significance to take the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis as a way to improve the health quality of the elderly. The research presents an osteoporosis calcaneus bone test device, which designs two ultrasonic probes for test the bone mineral density (BMD), one transmitting probe for sending the ultrasonic signal and the other, received probe, for collecting the ultrasonic attenuates detecting signal pass through bone, also the both probes are designed as a same kind probe for ultrasonic transmitting and receiving selection.
