  • PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR ANALYZING A TEXTURE OF A TISSUE
    Publication number: 20240404088
    Abstract: A process for analyzing a texture of a human or animal tissue from a digitized image, obtained by X-Ray based imaging system. The process includes a step of calculating at least one texture score B for the image by applying an experimental variogram to the tissue texture. Also, a device for analyzing the texture of a human or animal tissue from the digitized image.

  • Method of determining an indicator for the stability of a bone implant
    Patent number: 10032269
    Abstract: A method of determining an indicator for the stability of a bone implant comprises providing a two- or three-dimensional image mage of a bone at a location where a bone implant is planned. Then determining a bone structural parameter, which is typically representative of trabecular bone texture at said location, from the two- or three-dimensional image, by a texture analysis of a two- or three-dimensional grey scale image in a region of interest at said location where the bone implant is planned. Finally, an indicator for the stability of the planned bone implant after implantation is determined from the bone structural parameter and from implant stability data.
