A Preliminary Proof-of-Concept for an Electronic Circuit Board that Uniquely Intensifies the Acoustic Output of a Muscle and Bone Resonance Signal Such that It Can Be Used for Clinical Diagnosis—Such Electronic Circuit and Amplifying Electr

To date, accurate assessment of muscle tissue and bone has proven difficult due to lack of definition and detail of the recorded signal. With the use of an SMB pre-amplifier electronic unit, which uses a unique system to intensify and clarify acoustic output, we present a proof-of-concept that such a device is now capable of assessing and diagnosing differences in bone structure as well as soft body tissues, in a rapid, safe and non-invasive manner. It is proposed that the SMB pre-amplifier has potential as a diagnostic tool, pending validation in a larger more diverse patient cohort, and that it could be of benefit in a clinical and microgravity setting, as well as being an acoustic delivery phenomenon producing a perceived enhanced listening experience.

Abstract

To date, accurate assessment of muscle tissue and bone has proven difficult due to lack of definition and detail of the recorded signal. With the use of an SMB pre-amplifier electronic unit, which uses a unique system to intensify and clarify acoustic output, we present a proof-of-concept that such a device is now capable of assessing and diagnosing differences in bone structure as well as soft body tissues, in a rapid, safe and non-invasive manner. It is proposed that the SMB pre-amplifier has potential as a diagnostic tool, pending validation in a larger more diverse patient cohort, and that it could be of benefit in a clinical and microgravity setting, as well as being an acoustic delivery phenomenon producing a perceived enhanced listening experience.
