| Abstract | Bone architecture is an important factor that determines bone strength in addition to bone mass. Yet it is only bone mass that is measured in bone mineral densitometry (BMD), which is the most common, clinically used method to assess bone strength. Texture analysis of the trabecular bone pattern on radiographs is being investigated as a potential means to characterize the bone architecture. In this study the authors examined the use of an artificial neural network to merge several texture measures to obtain a single measure related to bone strength. The texture analyses were performed on digitised radiographs of excised femoral necks. Compressive strength measurements of the specimens were used in the training of the ANN. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to measure the performance of the ANN in distinguishing between strong and weak bone. With direct exposure radiographs, the ANN achieved an area under the ROC curve (A/sub Z/) of 0.98/spl plusmn/0.05 in consistency testing and 0.83/spl plusmn/0.08 in round-robin analysis. In comparison, BMD measurements on the specimens yielded an A/sub z/ value of 0.72/spl plusmn/0.11. These results indicate that the texture analysis of trabecular bone pattern on radiographs, merged with the use of an ANN, may be a useful method to noninvasively assess bone strength. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
