The most important outcome predictor of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is the shape of the healed femoral head. However, the deformity of the femoral head is currently evaluated by non-reproducible, categorical, and qualitative classifications. In this regard, recent advances in computer vision might provide the opportunity to automatically detect and delineate the outlines of bone in radiographic images for calculating a continuous measure of femoral head deformity. This study aimed to construct a pipeline for accurately detecting and delineating the

Introduction: There is a clear need for the development of more sensitive risk assessment tools for clinical predictors of fractures. Bone densitometries are limited in the ability to account for complex geometry, architecture, and heterogeneity of bone. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT)-based finite element (FE) Methods: (QCT/FEM) are able to perform structural analyses taking these factors into consideration to accurately predict bone strength. However, no basic data have been available regarding predicted strength (PS) of the

Introduction: Estimates suggest that 50% of new cases of invasive cancer diagnosed each year will eventually metastasise to bone. The proximal end of the femur is the most common site of long bone involvement by metastatic disease. Accepted principles for the treatment of metastatic disease of the
