Investigation of a Passive Sensor Array for Diagnosis of Loosening of Endoprosthetic Implants

Investigation of a Passive Sensor Array for Diagnosis of Loosening of Endoprosthetic Implants

Currently, imaging methods are used to diagnose loosening of endoprosthetic implants, but fail to achieve 100% accuracy. In this study, a passive sensor array which is based on the interaction between magnetic oscillators inside the implant and an excitation coil outside the patient was investigated...
