Abstract

Nanoscale biomaterials play an active role in the medical field. These materials are used for different
applications, such as biological system repair, replacement, stimulation, and interaction. This
encourages us to seek out bio-materials that can be helpful to enhance the detection capabilities of
active thermography. This non-destructive testing technique (NDT) yields such promising results that
it can be used as a screening tool for the early detection of bone diseases. Hence, in this work, we used
modulated active thermography with iron oxide nanoscale biomaterial to detect bone density.
Normally, modulated active thermography uses a post-processing scheme to improve depth
penetration; hence, this work utilized a pulse compression-based technique. This study focuses on the
effect of biomaterial coating on bone with varying densities when using active thermography. We are
using a three-dimensional FEM bone model with different density variations for this. We also compare
the coated and non-coated resolutions using the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Furthermore, we
discovered that the iron oxide coating can improve the current thermal NDT technique.
