The conventional criterion for fracture risk assessment is measured based on bone mineral density (BMD). These are measured using bone densitometry machines. Although there is a strong association between bone strength and BMD, it cannot sufficiently predict fracture risk in osteoperotic patients. In view of this a more accurate measurement of bone strength is required. Bone strength are measured...
Osteoporosis is characterized by an abnormal loss of bone mineral content, which leads to a tendency to non-traumatic bone fractures or to structural deformations of bone. Thus, bone density measurement has been considered as a most reliable method to assess bone fracture risk due to osteoporosis. In past decades, X-ray images have been studied in connection with the bone mineral density estimation...

The surface method of measuring the movements of lower thoracic and lumbar spine with osteoporosis using Fastrakreg was examined for validity. There is an increasing awareness of the health risks of exposure to radiation associated with repeated radiographic assessment of spinal curvature and spinal movements. As a skin-surface measurement device, Fastrakreg was employed to study the effect of low...
Left ventricular volume was assessed densitometrically by means of the mean logarithm of grey level (MLG) of a constant region of interest which included the ventricle silhouette. Stroke volume was obtained from MLG different between diastole and systole, without injection of contrast material. The results were significantly lower than those obtained by area-length method. Ejection fraction was derived...
