Abstract
15May 2017 ASSESSMENT OF RADIOMORPHOMETRIC INDICES ON DIGITAL PANORAMIC AND CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGES IN OSTEOPOROTIC EGYPTIAN FEMALES. Sarah M. Kenawy , Dina M.

Highlights
Background and purposeThis study aimed to assess the Received: 07 March 2017 Final Accepted: 13 April 2017 Published: May 2017 effectiveness of radiomorphometric indices based on digital panoramic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images as osteoporosis predictors in healthy and osteoporotic women
Twenty selected female volunteers were scanned by digital panoramic, Key words:Cone Beam Computed Tomography; Panoramic Radiography; Dual Energy xray Absorptiometry; Osteoporosis; Radiomorphometric indices
This study demonstrated that there was no significant correlation between the dual Energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) results with either panoramic or CBCT indices in the normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic groups
Summary
This study aimed to assess the Received: 07 March 2017 Final Accepted: 13 April 2017 Published: May 2017 effectiveness of radiomorphometric indices based on digital panoramic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images as osteoporosis predictors in healthy and osteoporotic women. Methods: Twenty selected female volunteers were scanned by digital panoramic, Key words:Cone Beam Computed Tomography; Panoramic Radiography; Dual Energy xray Absorptiometry; Osteoporosis; Radiomorphometric indices. Dual Energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and CBCT scans. According to the DEXA results, they were categorized into either normal or osteopenic/osteoporotic group. The same measurements were performed on digital panoramic, and CBCT images by 3 observers and the average of each was calculated. Results: This study demonstrated that there was no significant correlation between the DEXA results with either panoramic or CBCT indices in the normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic groups.
