Radiographic Texture Analysis of Densitometric Calcaneal Images: Relationship to Clinical Characteristics and to Bone Fragility
Osteoporotic fractures are related not only to bone mineral density (BMD) but also to bone structure or microarchitecture, which is not assessed routinely with currently available methods. We have developed radiographic texture analysis (RTA) for calcaneal images from a peripheral densitometer as an easy, noninvasive method for assessing bone structure. We conducted a cross-sectional study of t...
متن کاملBone composition: relationship to bone fragility and antiosteoporotic drug effects.
The composition of a bone can be described in terms of the mineral phase, hydroxyapatite, the organic phase, which consists of collagen type I, noncollagenous proteins, other components and water. The relative proportions of these various components vary with age, site, gender, disease and treatment. Any drug therapy could change the composition of a bone. This review, however, will only addres...

critical thinking ability has an important role in education. accordingly, scholars around the world are searching for new ways for teaching and improving students critical thinking ability. in line with the studies in efl contexts supporting the positive relationship between critical thinking and writing performances, this study investigated the differential effects of halverson’s critical thi...
15 صفحه اولRadiographic Assessment of Bone Cortex to Bone Diameter Ratio of Manus and Pes in Camel
Objective- To measure statistically bone cortex to diameter (C/D) ratio in metocarpo/metatarsal and proximal phalanges in camel. This ratio may be used in diagnosing possible metabolic and nutritional diseases in camel. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Twelve camel limbs (6 fore limbs & 6 hind limbs) Procedures- This study was conducted on dorsopalmar/dorsoplantar radiographs of t...
متن کاملTrabecular Texture Analysis Using Fractal Metrics for Bone Fragility Assessment
The purpose of this study is the discrimination of 28 postmenopausal with osteoporotic femoral fractures from an agematched control group of 28 women using texture analysis based on fractals. Two pre-processing approaches are applied on radiographic images; these techniques are compared to highlight the choice of the pre-processing method. Furthermore, the values of the fractal dimension are co...
