Abstract

Arthritis is one of the most pervasive diseases that causes of disability. For most people arthritis pain and inflammation cannot be avoided as the body ages. The present communication reports the study on the synovial fluid has the main lubricant in joints collected from normal persons and those ailing from arthritis are subjected to the microwave study and the variations of the dielectric parameters are investigated. The in vitro measurements of synovial fluid samples are done using cavity perturbation technique in the frequency range of 2–3 GHz. It is observed that in this band, the dielectric constant of normal samples are higher than those of arthritis affected ones and conductivity of is higher in normal samples, which finds application in detecting arthritis using microwaves. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
