Monitoring bone healing without X-ray radiation: A new approach lights the way
A medical research team at Saarland University, led by Professor Bergita Ganse, has discovered a new approach to monitoring bone fracture healing by measuring blood supply to the tissue at the fracture site and the level of oxygen in the blood. Bone regeneration can be monitored quickly and easily using near-infrared light rather than harmful shorter wavelength radiation.
