Independent measurement of femoral cortical thickness and cortical bone density using clinical CT
The local structure of the proximal femoral cortex is of interest since both fracture risk, and the effects of various interventions aimed at reducing that risk, are associated with cortical properties focused in particular regions rather than dispersed over the whole bone. Much of the femoral cortex is less than 3mm thick, appearing so blurred in clinical CT that its actual density is not appa...
متن کاملHigh resolution cortical thickness measurement from clinical CT data
The distribution of cortical bone in the proximal femur is believed to be critical in determining fracture resistance. Current CT technology is limited in its ability to measure cortical thickness, especially in the sub-millimetre range which lies within the point spread function of today's clinical scanners. In this paper, we present a novel technique that is capable of producing unbiased thic...
متن کاملthe relationship of various arch forms and cortical bone thickness
objective: implants are being used in orthodontics as a reliable mode of anchorage. among other factors, the cortical bone thickness plays a major role in determining the stability of these implants. the objective of this study was to study the relationship of various arch forms and the cortical bone thickness and to determine if the cortical bone thickness varies between various arch forms. th...
متن کاملRegistration based cortical thickness measurement
Cortical thickness is an important biomarker for image-based studies of the brain. A diffeomorphic registration based cortical thickness (DiReCT) measure is introduced where a continuous one-to-one correspondence between the gray matter-white matter interface and the estimated gray matter-cerebrospinal fluid interface is given by a diffeomorphic mapping in the image space. Thickness is then def...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Cortical Bone Thickness in Lumbar Vertebra Using Ct and Rp Experimental Techniques
The main objective of this paper was to assess the cortical bone thickness of human lumbar vertebra, through Computed Tomography (CT) images by using radiology reading software (iQ-VIEW), image processing software (ScanIP) and the rapid prototyping (RP) experimental methodology. The study here presented focus sixteen postmenopausal patients from the North of Portugal, with age between 50 and 85...
