Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of cranial bones, affects the correct development of the skull producing morphological malformations in newborns. To assess the susceptibility of each craniofacial articulation to close prematurely, we used a ne...
BACKGROUND: The assessment of bone age and skeletal maturity and its comparison to chronological age is an important task in the medical environment for the diagnosis of pediatric endocrinology, orthodontics and orthopedic disorders, and legal enviro...
OBJECTIVE: To predict the hand-wrist maturation stages based on the cervical vertebrae (CV) images, and to analyse the accuracy of the proposed algorithms.
BACKGROUND: Bone age is the age of skeletal development and is a direct indicator of physical growth and development in children. Most bone age assessment (BAA) systems use direct regression with the entire hand bone map or first segmenting the regio...

For conditions like osteoporosis, changes in bone pore geometry even when porosity is constant have been shown to correlate to increased fracture risk using techniques such as dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and computed tomography (CT). Addit...
