Abstract

accordingly for the PSF of the CT imaging system • Deducing an edge-spread-function (ESF) and a non-infesitesimal line-spread-function (LSF) • Putting the ESF for the spongiosa plateau and the LSF for the cortex into one function • Setting the full mineralization to 1100mgHA/cc • Fitting spongiosa plateau (ESF) and cortex plateau (LSF) on the BMD(ridge distance) data yields the deconvoluted cortical thickness dcCt.Th • Fitting an additional epoxy plateau outside the bone (yellow) results in dcCt.Th* This fit procedure can be done with a free δ, actually turning the cortex itself into a „test body“ to access the PSF‘s FWHM. Improved assessment of vertebral cortex thickness by means of analytical deconvolution of radial bone mineral density distributions
