INTRODUCTION: Osteoporosis, a common condition characterised by decreased bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, leading to increased fracture risk, is a significant health concern. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as Dual-energy X-ray A...
Whole-body bone scan (WBS) is usually used as the effective diagnostic method for early-stage and comprehensive bone metastases of breast cancer. WBS images with breast cancer bone metastasis have the characteristics of low resolution, small foregrou...

In bone cancer imaging, positron emission tomography (PET) is ideal for the diagnosis and staging of bone cancers due to its high sensitivity to malignant tumors. The diagnosis of bone cancer requires tumor analysis and localization, where accurate a...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is pivotal in radiology, offering non-invasive and high-quality insights into the human body. Precise segmentation of the MRIs into different organs and tissues would be very beneficial as it would allow more accurate...

PURPOSE: Advancements of deep learning in medical imaging are often constrained by the limited availability of large, annotated datasets, resulting in underperforming models when deployed under real-world conditions. This study investigated a generat...
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound (US) has great potential for application in computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) due to its non-radiative, cost-effective, and portable traits. However, bone segmentation from low-quality US images has been challenging. ...
BACKGROUND: Histomorphometry is currently the gold standard for bone microarchitectural examinations. This relies on two-dimensional (2D) sections to deduce the spatial properties of structures. Micromorphometric parameters are calculated from these ...
Oracle bone script, one of the earliest known forms of ancient Chinese writing, presents invaluable research materials for scholars studying the humanities and geography of the Shang Dynasty, dating back 3,000 years. The immense historical and cultur...
Bone and cartilage tissues are physiologically dynamic organs that are systematically regulated by mechanical inputs. At cellular level, mechanical stimulation engages an intricate network where mechano-sensors and transmitters cooperate to manipulat...
Bone segmentation is an important step to perform biomechanical failure load simulations on in-vivo CT data of patients with bone metastasis, as it is a mandatory operation to obtain meshes needed for numerical simulations. Segmentation can be a tedi...
