Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and devices for analyzing x-ray images. In particular, devices, methods and algorithms are provided that allow for the accurate and reliable evaluation of bone structure and macro-anatomical parameters from x-ray images.
Claims3
A method to derive information regarding one or more bone parameters from an image comprising:
- (a) obtaining image data of bone from a subject;
- (b) defining a first region of interest from the image data;
- (c) defining a second region of interest from the image data, wherein the first and second regions of interest overlap;
- (d) analyzing information in the first region of interest to determine at least a first value for a bone parameter, the bone parameter selected from the group consisting of bone microarchitecture, bone macroanatomy, biomechanical parameters and combinations thereof;
- (e) analyzing information in the second region of interest to determine at least a second value for the bone parameter;
- and
- (f) generating a set of data at least in part from the first and second values.
