Abstract
This paper is aimed at showing the potential interest of texture analysis in Magnetic Resonance images of tissues. In the first section, the texture analysis methods are briefly described: morphological granulometry and the Run Length method. The first one is applied to in vivo images of the wrist and the second one to ex vivo images of vertebrae, in order to characterize the trabecular bone structure. Texture analysis allows to assess information on the trabeculae thicknesses and the sizes of the inter-trabeculae spaces.
