A Survey on Detection and Diagnosis of Osteoporosis
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density which can lead to an increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is a state of having brittle and fragile bone which arises due to vitamin deficiency, tissue loss, hormonal changes. Osteoporosis can be efficiently detected by calculating various features like Bone mineral density (BMD), statistical features from various trabecular region such as hip, toe, elbow, etc. Detection of bone disorders are done with the help of bone densitometer. The bone densitometer uses a technique that the bone density can be measured in-terms of Tscore. Bone Mineral density measurement can be achieved by various segmentation methods such as K-means, Fuzzy segmentation.
