MR Imaging and Osteoporosis Fractal Lacunarity Analysis of Trabecular Bone.

We develop a method of magnetic resonance (MR) image analysis able to provide parameter(s) sensitive to bone microarchitecture changes in aging, and to osteoporosis onset and progression. The method has been built taking into account fractal properties of many anatomic and physiologic structures. Fr...
