For the first step to study healing mechanism of bone fracture by the ultrasound irradiation, we have investigated electric potentials in bone. To evaluate the stress induced electrical potentials at high frequencies, we used cortical bone as a piezoelectric device. We have then fabricated a bone transducer, to obtain output signals induced by ultrasound irradiation in the MHz range. In this study, we fabricated differently-structured bone transducers to investigate the effect of microstructure on the piezoelectricity. We also tried to evaluate the polarity of piezoelectric properties in bone in the MHz range. We found that the sensitivity of bone transducer depends on microstructure. When the bone transducer received the positive ultrasound pressure, proximal part of bone generated minus electric potential and distal part of bone generated plus electric potential. These data show the polarization in the piezoelectric properties in bone. |
