The Bootstrap Approach to the Comparison of Two Methods Applied to the Evaluation of the Growth Index in the Analysis of the Digital X-ray Image of a Bone Regenerate

摘要: The bone elongation by Ilizarov method is the important way of treatment physical disability. During necessary to control accumulation a regenerate and indicate moment when fixator should be removed. performed observing X-ray images evaluation Regenerate Development coefficient. automated image analysis used ensure objectivity reproducibility measurement. authors have developed new for evaluating coefficient reflecting specific parts an associated with intramedullary nail. To assess equivalence respect current, bootstrap was applied sample 23 X ray images. provided simulated distribution difference between index obtained from previous one.
