[On the estimation of the vibration of human skulls (author's transl)]. 1977

C Christmann, and F Holzweissig

The skull as a biosystem capable vibration shows characteristic oscillation modes with specific Eigen-frequencies. For the calculation of the these values we used a test method. The 4 lowest Eigen-frequencies are in the range of 1-3 KHz(f1 = 1,03 +/- 0,35KHz;f2 = 1,71 +/- 0,13KHz;f3 = 2,16 +/- 0,12 KHz and f4 = 2,57 +/- 0,11 KHz;n = 13). The shifting of the vibration mode is of diagnostic value in estimating of skull-basis-fractures.

D012887	Skull Fractures	Fractures of the skull which may result from penetrating or nonpenetrating head injuries or rarely BONE DISEASES (see also FRACTURES, SPONTANEOUS). Skull fractures may be classified by location (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE, BASILAR), radiographic appearance (e.g., linear), or based upon cranial integrity (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE, DEPRESSED).
