EXAMINATION PROGRAM AND EXAMINATION METHOD FOR VERTEBRAL BODY CANCELLOUS BONE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quantitatively find dynamic characteristics of a vertebral body.;SOLUTION: A bone is extracted from a CT image captured by a CT scan, and the length and cross-sectional area of each trabecular bone of the vertebral body cancellous bone are found (S2). The network in the direction of analysis is found based on the found trabecular bone network (S3), and the found network is analyzed in association with an electric circuit network (S4). The dynamic characteristics of the vertebral body are detected based on the result of analysis of the electric circuit network (S5).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
