Analysis of bone architecture using fractal-based TX-Analyzer™ in adult patients with osteogenesis imperfecta

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired bone quality and quantity. Established imaging techniques have limited reliability in OI. The TX-Analyzer™ is a new, fractal-based software allowing a non-invasive assessment of bone structure based on conventional radiographs. We explored whether the TX-Analyzer™ can discriminate OI patients and healthy controls. Furthermore, we investigated the correlation...
