- Abstract
We introduce an algorithm to evaluate hip DXA scans using quantitative image analysis procedures based on the Minkowski functionals (MF) for differentiation between post-menopausal women with and without hip fracture. In a population of 30 post-menopausal women, the new parameter has a highly discriminative potential with a performance superior to standard densitometry providing complementary information compared to BMD.
