Analysis of 3D CT image data aimed at segmentation of bone elements and other specific tissue types
Kodym, Oldřich ; Herout, Adam (referee) ; Jan, Jiří (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to get acquainted with methods of determining bone mineral density from appropriate tissue types in diagnostic CT data and possibly modifying or extending them in order to make the bone quality diagnosis more reliable. The thesis begins by introducing the issue of determining bone quality. Next, a method that takes cortical bone deformations into account as well as bone mineral density is introduced. Accuracy assessment based on opinion of a medical expert suggests positive outcome of future objective accuracy assessment utilizing so far unavailable base of calibrated CT data, that is needed before deployment into clinical practice. If the accuracy of the suggested method is confirmed this way, this work provides a so far absent tool for fully automatic preventive diagnostics of osteoporosis.
