Methods of measurement of bone density

This bachelor's thesis focuses on methods for measuring bone density and consequences of changes in bone density on biomechanical properties of bone tissue. In first part are described methods of bone densitometry, especially radiological methods, which are currently most widely used. Second part focuses on measuring bone density from CT images (hog femur bone, healthy and damaged human femur bone and lumbar vertebra) using software ROI Analysis. Third part discusses influence of changes in bone density on strain-stress quantities of trabecular bone. For the assessment was created 2D computational model of hip using FEM
