Bone samples' behavior in sunlight, IR light, and temperature increase with FEM simulation.

Area of Science:

• Biophysics
• Materials Science
• Biochemistry

Background:

• Bone structure is influenced by biological and environmental factors.
• Limited research exists on the adverse effects of sun radiation on bone tissue.
• Understanding radiation's impact on bone is crucial for health assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze bone tissue exposure to infrared and sunlight radiation.
• To investigate structural modifications in bone hydroxyapatite.
• To correlate radiation exposure with detectable changes in bone.

Main Methods:

• Utilized focused sound, spectroscopy (X-ray diffraction, infrared), and image processing.
• Employed finite element method simulations for temperature analysis.
• Characterized crystal morphology and functional groups of bone hydroxyapatite.

Main Results:

• Infrared spectroscopy confirmed hydroxyl groups, amines, and lipids correlated with hydroxyapatite modifications.
• X-ray diffraction showed hydroxyapatite peaks, with sun-exposed samples indicating potential β-TCP and α-TCP formation.
• Increased sound intensity correlated with extended radiation exposure and structural bone changes.

Conclusions:

• Non-ionizing radiation causes verifiable structural changes in bone samples.
• Novel analytical techniques successfully identified radiation-induced bone structural alterations.
• Findings facilitate improved detection of bone deficiency scenarios.
