This thesis concerns the segmentation of HRpQCT images and the evaluation of the cortical bone parameters for the osteoporosis characterization and the fracture prediction. Firstly, two approaches were proposed to segment the cortical bone. The first uses a new fuzzy energy active contours approach followed by a new filling technique designed to mimic the behaviour of clinicians while extracting the cortical bone from the trabecularone. The second approach is a local based 3D dual active contours approach proposed to separate between three regions constituting the image. To move, this approach combines the local information along each point in the two contours conjointly with the information between them. The segmentation results of these a...
