Analysis of trabecular bone structure using Fourier transforms and neural networks.

Analysis of trabecular bone structure using Fourier transforms and neural networks.

Hip fracture due to osteoporosis (OP) and hip osteoarthritis (OA) are both important causes of locomotor morbidity in the elderly population. In osteoporosis, bone mass gradually decreases until the skeleton is too fragile to support the body and a fracture occurs, typically in the femur, wrist or s...
