Radiographic Texture Analysis in the Characterization of Trabecular Patterns in Periprosthetic Osteolysis

摘要

Rationale and ObjectivesPeriprosthetic osteolysis is a disease attributed to the body's reaction to fine polyethylene wear debris shed from total hip replacements. The purpose of this preliminary study was to investigate the ability of radiographic texture analysis (RTA) to characterize the trabecular texture patterns on pelvic images for osteolysis and normal total hip arthroplasty (THA) cases.
