This study aims to inaugurate the comparison among entire hip bone mineral density (RMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and a humble clavicle radiogrammetry complete from the ribcage radiograph that provides the result of extraordinary sensitivity and specificity for forecasting full hip BMD from ribcage radiograph for assessment of osteoporosis. Clavicle Radiogrammetry is a method to measure morphometric dimensions like the other and inner diameter of the clavicle at its mid-shaft. Form these measurements; the following Bone Mass Indices are to be calculated, such as the cortical thickness and the Relative thickness. The Clavicle bone is separated from the digital chest X-ray. The Clavicle bone is identified and separated using Active Shape Model algorithm. After this, the morphometric measurements are done. The outcome of the study is whether the digitized chest X-ray analyzed is helpful in the evaluation of osteoporosis or not.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
