摘要：
The method of detecting bone fractures using backscattered light makes use of backscattered near infrared (NIR) light to determine if a body part of a patient is healthy, has a bone fracture, or has an edema. An incident beam of near infrared light is generated by a light source, and has both an incident amplitude and an incident phase. The incident beam of NIR light is directed toward the patient's body part, and a backscattered beam of NIR light is received from the body part. The backscattered beam of NIR light has a backscattered amplitude and a backscattered phase. The determination of whether the body part is healthy, has a bone fracture or has an edema is made based on the level of absorption of the incident beam of NIR light and/or based on the amount of scattering, based on the phase difference, of the incident beam of NIR light.
