Practical use of images for diagnosis of osseous abnormalities presumes cost-effective technology that targets known physiologic processes. The most obvious modalities for such applications are radiographic, and the newest are characterized by quantitative methods expressed both tomographically and by means of digital subtraction registered in two and three dimensions. Quantitative nuclear medicine and possibly electron spin resonance spectroscopy also appear promising. New analytic techniques for interpreting osseous images include characterization of trabecular patterns by fractal descriptors and micromorphometry.
将图像实际用于骨异常的诊断需要采用针对已知生理过程的经济高效技术。此类应用最明显的方式是放射成像，最新的方式则以断层扫描和二维及三维数字减影的定量方法为特征。定量核医学以及可能的电子自旋共振光谱学也颇具前景。用于解读骨图像的新分析技术包括通过分形描述符和微观形态测量对小梁模式进行表征。
