Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Radiodensitometry offers a non-invasive method for assessing bone mineral density (BMD).
  • Accurate and reliable software tools are crucial for precise radiodensitometric evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of novel MevisLab software for radiodensitometric analysis.
  • To compare software-derived densitometric values with established bone mineral density measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Intraoral radiographs of the premolar region were analyzed using MevisLab software.
  • An aluminum step wedge was used for calibration; grey values were converted to aluminum equivalence (mm Al eq.).
  • Software-derived BMD was compared with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and decalcified bone specimens.

Main Results:

  • Laboratory study showed a high correlation (r=0.96) between densitometric data and jaw bone BMD.
  • In vivo studies demonstrated moderate correlations between densitometric data and lumbar spine, hip, and femoral neck BMD.
  • Excellent intraobserver (±0.15 mm Al eq.) and interobserver (±0.11 mm Al eq.) reliability was observed.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MevisLab software demonstrates reliability for bone density assessment.
  • Further large-scale studies are warranted to validate its clinical accuracy and applicability.
