| Summary: | Analysis of the geometric properties of bone cross-sections is often used to
determine skeletal performance and the ability of the body to resist
different external forces. This analysis is dependent on obtaining adequate
bone cross-sectional images. CT images can be used for this purpose by
performing some pre-processing of images in order to achieve sufficient
accuracy. In this paper we have used experiments to show that relatively good
accuracy of bone cross sectional areas and moments of inertia can be achieved
by simple threshold level filtering of CT images. |
