Acoustic Emission: Can This Technology Be Used to Diagnose Arthritis? Sunday May 14, 2006#spacer{clear:left}#abc #sidebar{margin-top:1.5em}zSB(3,3)Knees damaged by arthritis emit high frequency sound wave patterns which are different from normal knee movement, researchers believe. At the University of Central Lancashire, a research team is working to develop a hand-held device based on acoustic emission to detect these differences and help primary care physicians diagnose arthritis. Theoretically the acoustic emission hand-held device would help monitor the effectiveness of arthritis treatments as well. The research team reportedly will try to compare results from abnormal arthritic knees to see if there is a correlation with cartilage damage seen on MRI. According to the
