Abstract:
Trabecular microstructure is an important factor that influences the bone biomechanical properties. In this paper, studies on digital image analysis of trabecular microstructure are reviewed with special emphases on the serials parameters as well as on the measurement methods of trabecular microstructure characteristic. The future researches and advances are also prospected.
