Diagnosis of vertebral fractures on lateral chest X-ray: intraobserver agreement of semi-quantitative vertebral fracture assessment.
BACKGROUND In clinical practice lateral images of the chest are performed for various reasons. As these lateral chest X rays show the vertebrae of the thoracic and thoraco-lumbar region, we wondered if these X-rays can be used for evaluation of vertebral fractures instead of separate thoracic spine X-rays. METHODS To evaluate the agreement and intraobserver reliability of the semi-quantitativ...
متن کاملComparison of semi-quantitative and quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI evaluations of vertebral marrow perfusion in a rat osteoporosis model
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate the technical feasibility of semi-quantitative and quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in the assessment of longitudinal changes of marrow perfusion in a rat osteoporosis model, using bone mineral density (BMD) measured by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histopathology as the gold standards. METHODS Fif...
متن کاملQuantitative Vertebral Morphometry Using Neighbor-Conditional Shape Models
A novel method for vertebral fracture quantification from X-ray images is presented. Using pairwise conditional shape models trained on a set of healthy spines, the most likely normal vertebra shapes are estimated conditional on the shapes of all other vertebrae in the image. The difference between the true shape and the reconstructed normal shape is subsequently used as a measure of abnormalit...
متن کاملSemi-quantitative system identification
System identification takes a space of possible models and a stream of observational data of a physical system, and attempts to identify the element of the model space that best describes the observed system. In traditional approaches, the model space is specified by a parameterized differential equation, and identification selects numerical parameter values so that simulation of the model best...
متن کاملSholl analysis: a quantitative comparison of semi-automated methods.
BACKGROUND Sholl analysis remains one of the most commonly used methods to quantify neuronal dendritic complexity and is therefore a key analysis tool in neurobiology. While initially proposed when the quantification of neuronal structure was undertaken manually, the advent of software packages allowing automated analysis has resulted in the introduction of several semi and fully automated meth...
