Performance of Bone Modelling Techniques in the Assessment of Bone Fragility

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes the effect of different radiation-reducing methods of bone modelling on the volume of bone models and structural differences between individual models. Careful analysis of data has enabled to determine which of these methods are the best from a structural point of view. The next step is to compare different methods of bone modelling with regard to potential similarities in strength behaviours of bone models.
