title: Non-invasive diagnosis and prophylaxis in orthopaedics.
abstract: In this paper some ten years of work in bioengineering is described. The central theme is non-invasive diagnosis and prophylaxis. This theme is exemplified in several interrelated sections of work which are described. The work is categorized into: modest beginnings, hip and knee vibration papers, deep venous thrombosis and cavitation in human joints. The philosophy is straightforward--to benefit patients by making harmless measurement.
