Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of texture features to assess changes in trabecular bone architecture as projected in radiographs. Micro-CT datasets of trabecular bone were processed to simulate different changes in architecture. Radiographs were simulated by projecting the 3D-bone structure. Texture features, based on mathematical morphology, determined on the simulated radiographs were able to detect structural changes in the trabecular bone.
