Fractal Texture Analysis in the Irregular Region of Interest of the Healing Process Using Guided Bone Regeneration

  • Conference paper
Information Technologies in Biomedicine, Volume 3

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 283))

Abstract

A fractal texture analysis technique was introduced for assessment of the healing process using Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) after bone loss in resected and cystic areas. Fractal dimension may be used for the characterization of surface topography of medical images. In this paper we attempted to analyse fractal surface in the irregular regions of interest (irregular ROI-s) using two methods: Chen’s method and variogram. In our study a significant change for the values of fractal dimension was found.
