Finite Element Simulation of the MRTA Test of a Human Tibia

The mechanical response tissue analyzer (MRTA) tests long bone quality through low frequency, low amplitude vibration in vivo. The MRTA measures complex stiffness over a range of low frequencies, offering a wealth of information on bone composition. Previous MRTA interpretation used lumped paramet...
