[Computer analysis of bones and regeneration on radiographs taken during limb lengthening--introductory comments].
Computer assisted image analysis is used for qualitative assessment of radiographs more and more often. The aim of this study was to define a method enabling objective assessment of changes in bone structure, using standard radiographs during limb elongation. Application of such analysis for assessment of bone and regenerate during limb elongation is described. The method of estimation of the obtained results is also presented. The obtained results encourage the authors to continue their studies, so as to make objective assessment of bone using standard radiographs a common method.
