内容記述 | Our Research Objective is to measure the spatial distribution of bone mass throughout the entire internal volume of a bone such as the human calcaneus or heel bone. Currently, x-ray computed tomography (CT) is the only practical three-dimensional imaging technology capable of measuring bone density within small contiguous volumetric regions of a bone. spectrum of energies in the x-ray beam producing the image. We have developed a computational method of correcting these errors, provided the x-ray spectrum is known or measured (Yan et al., 2000). Monitoring serial changes in volumetric bone density with age, disuse, exercise or A CT image contains measurement errors in bone density caused by the broad drug therapy also requires accurate image registration. |
