Early diagnosis of osteoporosis using radiogrammetry and texture analysis from hand and wrist radiographs in Indian population

ConclusionAn automated diagnostic technique for early diagnosis of onset of osteoporosis is developed using cortical radiogrammetric measurements and cancellous texture analysis of hand and wrist radiographs. The work shows that a combination of cortical and cancellous features improves the diagnostic ability and is a promising low cost tool for early diagnosis of increased risk of osteoporosis.
