  • Method For Measuring Trabecular Bone Parameters From MRI Images
    Publication number: 20120277571
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for measuring trabecular bone parameters from MRI images, including: scanning an experimental group with a 3D MRI scanner; segmenting the MRI images to extract bone area and perform skeletonization of the bone area; detecting end-point, joint and branch voxels in the skeleton to analyze bone structure; and measuring trabecular bone parameters based on the result of the structural analysis. The method enables diagnosing osteoporosis.
