Evaluation of a computerised image analyser for studying alterations in radiographic bone density in the rat. Abstract Text:

E E Specht,

A computerised image analyser has been used experimentally to determine its possible usefulness in quantifying bone density. Rats were prepared for this purpose and ash weight/volume readings were obtained on femora which had been radiographed and studied to estimate radiographic density by means of the image analyser. The findings indicated that rats can be prepared by administering oestradiol or by allowing an additional week's growth, both of which give a statistically significant increase of bone density. The computerised image analyser was able to detect these differences but the correlations, although real and linear, between ash weight/volume and radiographic density were not large. Further refinements in techniques will be needed before the system is applied clinically.
