This paper introduces a new system that aims at giving an indication on bone structure load bearing capability and its pathological modifications, and may be re-garded as a complement to the diagnosis methodologies that are now in use. Starting from digital radiographic images, a numerical model is used to estimate the elastic properties of the examined trabecular bone architecture, which are re-lated to the bone load bearing capabilities. The system is currently being subjected to a first clinical validation.

Abstract
This paper introduces a new system that aims at giving an indication on bone structure load bearing capability and its pathological modifications, and may be re-garded as a complement to the diagnosis methodologies that are now in use. Starting from digital radiographic images, a numerical model is used to estimate the elastic properties of the examined trabecular bone architecture, which are re-lated to the bone load bearing capabilities. The system is currently being subjected to a first clinical validation.File in questo prodotto:
