On local micro-architecture analysis of trabecular bone in three dimensions

In Vivo Analysis of Trabecular Bone Architecture

Trabecular morphology has structural trends which are strongly correlated with physical function. In vivo analysis of the trabecular pattern has the potential to predict and treat malgrowth of bone owing to altered loading conditions in an early phase. Using multiscale texture analysis we determine the orientation trend of the trabecular network from CT images. First studies show that the obtai...

3D Geodesic Topological Analysis of Trabecular Bone Micro-Architecture of the Proximal Femur

Introduction. Osteoporosis has been defined by NIH as a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fracture. The proximal femur is the anatomical site where most of the fractures leading to morbidity and mortality occur, however due to its deep-seated location in the human body is also among the most difficult to study in-vivo. Currently, d...

Mandibular Trabecular Bone Analysis Using Local Binary Pattern for Osteoporosis Diagnosis

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...

Bone Metabolism And Trabecular Bone Micro-architecture In Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

The effects of the Er:YAG laser on trabecular bone micro-architecture: Comparison with conventional dental drilling

The use of lasers has become increasingly common in the field Background of medicine and dentistry, and there is a growing need for a deeper understanding of the procedure and its effects on tissue. The aim of this study was to compare the erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser and conventional drilling techniques, by observing the effects on trabecular bone microarchitecture and ...
