BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The accurate evaluation of bone mechanical properties is essential for predicting fracture risk based on clinical computed tomography (CT) images. However, blurring and noise in clinical CT images can compromise the accuracy...
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a bone disease related to increased bone loss and fracture-risk. The variability in bone strength is partially explained by bone mineral density (BMD), and the remainder is contributed by bone microstructure. Recently, cli...

Trabecular bone analysis plays a crucial role in understanding bone health and disease, with applications like osteoporosis diagnosis. This paper presents a comprehensive study on 3D trabecular computed tomography (CT) image restoration, addressing s...
OBJECTIVE: Bone diseases deteriorate the microstructure of bone tissue. Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) enables high spatial resolution of imaging bone tissues. However, the spatiotemporal trade-off limits the application of OR-P...
OBJECTIVES: This study developed and evaluated a two-stage deep learning-based system for automatic segmentation of mandibular cortical bone, mandibular cancellous bone, maxillary cortical bone and maxillary cancellous bone on cone beam computed tomo...
