3D Structural Measurements of the Proximal Femur from 2D DXA Images Using a Statistical Atlas
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method to obtain 3D structural measurements of the proximal femur from 2D DXA images and a statistical atlas is presented. A statistical atlas of a proximal femur was created consisting of both 3D shape and volumetric density information and then deformably registered to 2D fan-beam DXA images. After the registration process, a series of 3D structural measurements were taken on QCT-estimates generated by transforming the registered statistical atlas into a voxel volume. These measurements were compared to the equivalent measurements taken on the actual QCT (ground truth) associated with the DXA images for each of 20 human cadaveric femora. The methodology and results are presented to address the potential clinical feasibility of obtaining 3D structural measurements from limited angle DXA scans and a statistical atlas of the proximal femur in-vivo.

3D bone mineral density distribution and shape reconstruction of the proximal femur from a single simulated DXA image: an in vitro study
Area Bone Mineral Density (aBMD) measured by Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is an established criterion in the evaluation of hip fracture risk. The evaluation from these planar images however is limited to 2D while it has been shown that proper 3D assessment of both the shape and the BMD distribution improves the fracture risk estimation. In this work we present a method to reconstruct ...

PURPOSE Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used in clinical routine to provide a two-dimensional (2D) analysis of the bone mineral density (BMD). 3D reconstruction methods from 2D DXA images could improve the BMD analysis. To find the optimal configuration that should be used in clinical routine, this paper relies on a 3D reconstruction method from DXA images to compare the accuracy that...

Areal bone mineral density (aBMD), as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), predicts hip fracture risk only moderately. Simulation of bone mechanics based on DXA imaging of the proximal femur, may help to improve the prediction accuracy. Therefore, we collected three (1-3) image sets, including CT images and DXA images of 34 proximal cadaver femurs (set 1, including 30 males, 4 fe...

Obtaining 3D patient-specific bone models from 2D image data (e.g. X-rays, fluoroscope) remains a practical and desirable alternative to segmentation of bone models from 3D image data (e.g. CT, MRI). It also provides an initial step to automatically calculating the relevant axes and angles needed in computer aided surgery (CAS). Our method utilizes a statistical atlas of bone based on Principal...

In clinical routine, osteoporosis diagnosis is performed using the areal Bone Mineral Density (aBMD) computed from two-dimensional Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) images. This measurement of the "projected density" gives a global marker of osteoporosis but is insufficient for an accurate quantification of non-uniform mineral deficiencies. Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT) is one pos...
