  • Method and system for analysis of bone density
    Patent number: 8116545
    Abstract: The present description relates to a method for generating a bone density value. The method can include generating digital image data depending upon an X-ray image corresponding to at least a part of the bone; transmitting a digital image data signal comprising the digital image data; and processing said digital image data signal. The processing step can include generating a trabeculae model depending upon said processed digital image data signal; generating at least one geometrical figure depending upon the generated trabeculae model, wherein the generated geometrical figure is provided essentially within a space at least partly defined by center lines of the generated trabeculae; and calculating the bone density value depending upon the at least one generated geometrical figure. Devices and storage for the method(s) are also described.

  • Method and system for analysis of bone density
    Patent number: 7848551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating a bone density value. The method comprises the steps of: generating digital image data depending upon an X-ray image corresponding to at least a part of the bone; transmitting a digital image data signal comprising the digital image data; and processing said digital image data signal. The processing step comprises the sub steps of: generating a trabeculae model depending upon said processed digital image data signal; generating at least one geometrical figure depending upon the generated trabeculae model, wherein the generated geometrical figure is provided essentially within a space at least partly defined by centre lines of the generated trabeculae; calculating the bone density value depending upon the at least one generated geometrical figure.
