erosion - Opis:
- This paper presents some results concerning the analysis of X-ray propagation through biological structures. We introduce a physical model of the phenomenon and a numerical method based on this model for simulation of X-ray radiation propagation. The proposed method enables generation of radiological projections like those in the computed tomography or microtomography. We have focused our attention on the attenuation of X-ray radiation in bone tissue. Our computational model enables simulation of radiation propagation in the virtual specimen. The virtual bone microstructures used in our experiments are derived from the microtomography datasets of real bone specimens. The main advantage of our approach is that we can change the microstructure of the virtual sample in many ways by using the image processing methods. Results presented in this paper contain simulations of X-ray propagation for modified and unmodified trabecular microstructures as well as the visualization of the radiation intensity distribution for the simulated cases. With this new simulation technique, it is possible for example to analyze the propagation of X-ray radiation for different pathologic types of bone microstructure (e.g. virtually generated osteoporosis).
