Measurements of bone microstructure on specimens can be performed by micro-CT. In vivo measurements are reliably performed by high-resolution peripheral computed tomography (HR-pQCT) using dedicated software. In previous studies from our research group, trabecular bone properties on CT data of defatted specimens from many different CT devices have been analyzed using an Automated Region Growing (ARG) algorithm-based code, showing strong correlations to micro-CT.<\/jats:p>The aim of the study was to validate the possibility of segmenting and measuring trabecular bone structure from clinical CT data of fresh-frozen human wrist specimens. Data from micro-CT was used as reference. The hypothesis was that the ARG-based in-house built software could be used for such measurements.<\/jats:p>HR-pQCT image data at two resolutions (61 and 82 \u00b5m isotropic voxels) from 23 fresh-frozen human forearms were analyzed. Correlations to micro-CT were strong, varying from 0.72 to 0.99 for all parameters except trabecular termini and nodes. The bone volume fraction had correlations varying from 0.95 to 0.98 but was overestimated compared to micro-CT, especially at the lower resolution. Trabecular separation and spacing were the most stable parameters with correlations at 0.80-0.97 and mean values in the same range as micro-CT.<\/jats:p>Results from this in vitro study show that an ARG-based software could be used for segmenting and measuring 3D trabecular bone structure from clinical CT data of fresh-frozen human wrist specimens using micro-CT data as reference. Over-and underestimation of several of the bone structure parameters must however be taken into account.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12880-024-01281-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,1]],"date-time":"2024-05-01T14:41:33Z","timestamp":1714574493000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Automated region growing-based segmentation for trabecular bone structure in fresh-frozen human wrist specimens"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Eva","family":"Klintstr\u00f6m","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Klintstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"\u00d6rjan","family":"Smedby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"1281_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Ammann P, Rizzoli R (2003) Bone strength and its determinants.
