Automated Determination of Morphometric Parameters of the Human Radius Based on the Results of Its Computed Tomography.

ABSTRACT

A fundamentally new software method for automated measurement of morphometric parameters of computed tomographic image of the human radius has been designed. The parameters obtained by manual morphometry of computed tomograms using the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer software were compared with the results of the software product developed by us. The relative error in the measurement of morphometric parameters was about 10%. In the future, the presented software method of automated determination of morphometric parameters of the bone will enable modeling of individual prosthesis of the head of the radius based on the results of computed tomograms with consideration of the structural features of the human radius.
