Background The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate an algorithm for bone
segmentation on whole-body CT using a convolutional neural network (CNN). Methods …

Purpose Osteoporosis associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and
microarchitectural changes puts patients at an elevated risk of fracture. Modern multidetector …

Purpose Osteoporosis is a bone disease associated with enhanced bone loss,
microstructural degeneration, and fracture‐risk. Finite element (FE) modeling is used to …

Fracture pattern acquisition and representation in human bones play a crucial role in
medical simulation, diagnostics, and treatment planning. This article presents a …

This paper presents a novel method to segment bone fragments imaged using 3D
Computed Tomography (CT). Existing image segmentation solutions often lack accuracy …

The determination of bone mechanical properties remains crucial, especially to feed up
numerical models. An original methodology of inverse analysis has been developed to …

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the effects of period-specific and cumulative
fluoride (F) intake on bone at the levels of cortical and trabecular bone microstructural …

Osteoporosis causes fragile bone, and bone microstructural quality is a critical determinant
of bone strength and fracture risk. This study pursues technical validation of novel CT based …

Osteoporosis causes bone fragility and elevates fracture risk. Applications of finite element
(FE) analysis (FEA) for assessment of trabecular bone (Tb) microstructural strength at whole …

High resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) offers detailed
bone geometry and microarchitecture assessment, including cortical porosity, but assessing …
