Applications of mathematical morphology for analysis of bone trabecular microstructure.

2012, 38 p. (in Italian)

The aim of this study has been to examine first two spongy bone tissue samples starting from microtomographic images and then carrying out the analysis through the use of mathematical morphology’s theory. This approach has been considered really interesting as it correlates the morphometric and structural parameters proposed with mechanical properties of bone, which depend from the spatial organization of trabeculae. Some indicators has been introduced as following: the curve of trabeculae size distribution and the curves of connectivity. These indicators, which allowed to characterize the internal structure of bone tissue, had given evidence of the physiological and pathological nature/origin(?) of the samples analyzed.
Key words: Microtomography; Mathematical morphology; Trabecular bone structure (Spongy bone tissue)
