Methods for the compensation of imaging technique in the processing of radiographic images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to derive information, in a computer system, to create a set of data 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 (ROI) from the image data;
(c) defining a second region of interest (ROI) from the image data, wherein the first and second regions of interest (ROIs) 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.
