Abstract

This study aims to inaugurate the comparison among entire hip bone mineral density (RMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and a humble clavicle radiogrammetry complete from the ribcage radiograph that provides the result of extraordinary sensitivity and specificity for forecasting full hip BMD from ribcage radiograph for assessment of osteoporosis. Clavicle Radiogrammetry is a method to measure morphometric dimensions like the other and inner diameter of the clavicle at its mid-shaft. Form these measurements; the following Bone Mass Indices are to be calculated, such as the cortical thickness and the Relative thickness. The Clavicle bone is separated from the digital chest X-ray. The Clavicle bone is identified and separated using Active Shape Model algorithm. After this, the morphometric measurements are done. The outcome of the study is whether the digitized chest X-ray analyzed is helpful in the evaluation of osteoporosis or not.
