Abstract

Digital image processing texture analysis methods are implemented to detect and quantify trabecular pattern changes for computer-assisted diagnosis of bone-loss diseases. Techniques are described for extracting certain textural features, namely, run length statistics, fractural dimension, and relative extrema density, from standard film radiographs of trabecular bone. Results of a study are given which suggest that these features can quantify changes that occur in a clinical disuse-osteoporosis model.
