چکیده
This Study aims to examine the correlation between the characteristics of trabeculae through structural analysis of femoral bone from radiographic image. With 34 females (average age of 62.1 years) and 6 males (average age of 60.7 years) who received osteoporosis related examination chosen as subjects and were categorized into normal group and osteoporosis group in accordance with the T-score of the average value of the measurement of the bone density of femoral bone measured with DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry). ROI (Region of interests) was selected and characteristics of trabeculae were analyzed by using the skeletonization of fractal analysis and trabeculae image in order to examine the correlation with osteoporosis. The result of measurement of configuration of the bone displayed statistically significant correlation between Neck cortical thickness, Shaft cortical thickness (Medial) and Shaft cortical thickness (Lateral) with BMD average (T-score). In addition, only the trabeculae area among the 5 structural indices displayed statistically significant correlation with BMD average (T-score). This research shows significant correlation of the morphological characteristics analysis of bone from the femoral radiographic images with BMD.

Idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP) in premenopausal women is a poorly understood entity in which otherwise healthy women have low-trauma fracture or very low bone mineral density (BMD). In this study, we applied individual trabeculae segmentation (ITS)-based morphological analysis to high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) images of the distal radius and distal tibia to...

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased fracture risk. Since Panoramic image is a feasible and relatively routine imaging technique in dentistry; it could provide an opportunistic chance for screening osteoporosis. In this regard, numerous...

Incidences of osteoporosis and fragility fractures are constantly increasing, which are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. When these patients undergo surgery, a higher number of postoperative complications may be expected because of poor bone quality and delayed healing. As a result, poorer primary stability of the implant, initial loosening, and impaired fixation strength in d...
