Texture analysis of computed tomographic images in osteoporotic patients with sinus lift bone graft reconstruction

Abstract

The method is known to correlate with microarchitectural changes in bone and could be a useful approach to characterized osseointegrated grafts.

Mandibular bone effects of botulinum toxin injections in masticatory muscles in adult

“…Texture analysis was performed using MaZda 3D Editor 4.6 software (Polytechnika Institute of Electronics, Lodz, Poland). A region of interest (ROI) was drawn manually on the selected images and served as a mask for the texture analysis using the run-length distribution described by Galloway as previously reported 28,29 . Analysis was done in triplicate by the same investigator with determination of the intra-operator variation coefficient.…”

Initial changes in alveolar bone volume for sham-operated and ovariectomized rats in ligature-induced experimental periodontitis

“…The disease is known to progress with increasing age, and the primary cause is thought to be derived by an imbalance between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts due primarily from postmenopausal estrogen deficiencies [1][2][3][4][5]. Over 200 million people are now estimated to be suffering from the disease worldwide with the great majority being white or Asian women over the age of 65 [6].…”

Texture analysis in cone-beam computed tomographic images of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw

“… 20 Thus, in the present study, the MaZda software was used for the interpretation of texture analysis by GLCM in these usual directions. The MaZda software has already been used in clinical studies to evaluate bone loss detection in the furcation region, 20 bone grafts performed for maxillary sinus lift procedures, 22 and cerebrovascular accidents. 13 This software has been presented as one of the most appropriate for texture analysis.…”

“… 15 16 Texture analysis has been successfully used in the medical field to evaluate changes in ischemic stroke, 13 osteoarthritis, 17 osteoporosis, 18 and intraosseous lipoma. 19 As well, in dentistry, it has already been used to evaluate periodontal alterations in the furcation region, 20 oral cancer, 21 bone grafts used in maxillary sinus lift surgery, 22 and dental implant stability. 23 However, a more detailed and accurate assessment of the bone pattern in cases of MRONJ in the mandible was not identified in the reviewed literature.…”
