Piezoelectrical signals generated in air- and water-saturated cancellous bones by an ultrasound wave

Key Points

• The study reveals significant piezoelectric signals generated in cancellous bones due to ultrasound waves.
• Measured waves generated peak responses of 0.5 mV in dry conditions versus 1.1 mV in saturated conditions.
• Assessment using ultrasound wave exposure on cancellous bone tissue highlights differences between air- and water-saturated samples.
• Results indicate potential for using piezoelectric signals in therapeutic applications, though further research is needed.
