Disclosed are a multiple bone displaying method for establishing an implant procedure plan, and an image processing device therefor. A multiple bone density displaying method according to one embodiment comprises, during the establishment of an implant procedure plan, the steps of: generating a virtual bone density display area centered with respect to an implanted fixture in a dental image, so as to overlay same on the fixture position; analyzing the bone density corresponding to the bone density display area; and displaying the analyzed bone density as color information in the bone density display area.

A motor organ disease prediction device includes at least one processor, in which the processor derives a bone mineral density of a target bone among bones included in a subject including a bone part and a soft part, a muscle mass around the target bone, shape information representing a shape of the target bone, and shape information representing a shape of a bone adjacent to the target bone from a first radiation image and a second radiation image acquired by imaging the subject by radiation having different energy distributions. The processor derives a probability of occurrence of a motor organ disease relating to the target bone from the bone mineral density of the target bone, the muscle mass around the target bone, the shape information of the target bone, and the shape information of the bone adjacent to the target bone.

A method for detecting biometric parameters includes the steps of performing a bone graft procedure on at least one vertebra of a spine, providing at least one biometric sensor at the at least one vertebra, the sensor measuring at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of pressure, tension, shear, relative position, and vascular flow in an adjacent, surrounding, and measuring the at least one biometric parameter at the vertebra with the sensor.

A method of bioimpedance vector analysis technology to evaluate local or whole body bone mineral density includes the steps of (a) measuring the resistance and reactance of a subject with a bioimpedance measuring instrument, obtaining the height of the subject, and then dividing the height of the subject by the resistance to obtain a first value and dividing the height of the subject by the reactance to obtain a second value, and (b) comparing the first value and the second value with a bioimpedance vector analysis chart to evaluate the local or whole body bone mineral density of the subject. This method is convenient to use.

A dental implant for supporting periodontal tissue and the supporting bone is provided. The dental implant includes an implant member with inner canal for insertion into a periodontal bone socket, and an anchoring assembly. The anchoring assembly includes a first fastening element and radially equidistant cylindrical members. The first fastening element engages the implant member within the hollow axial cavity. The root section includes through-holes for radially and forcibly sliding the cylindrical members through them. When the first fastening element apically advances within the hollow axial cavity, the cylindrical members generate an anchoring force to anchor the dental implant.

A method of analyzing the quality of bone at one or more bone regions during an orthopedic surgical procedure includes an initial audio sample being recorded with an acoustic sensor, while a cutting instrument cuts a first region of a bone. The first audio sample is stored as a reference sample that represents a good degree of bone quality. A second audio sample is recorded with the acoustic sensor, while the cutting instrument cuts a second region of the bone. The second audio sample is compared to the reference sample to analyze the bone quality at the second region of the bone. A system for performing the method is also provided.

A method is disclosed for obtaining an image biomarker that quantifies the quality of the trabecular structure of bones. The method includes: retrieving high-resolution CT (Computed Tomography) and/or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) trabecular images from an image database; pre-processing and post-processing the high-resolution CT and/or MRI trabecular images and obtaining the unique image biomarker “QTS”. Pre-processing may include: calculating the region of interest “ROI”; calculating the bone fraction map; eliminating the partial volume effect; and, binarizing. Post-processing may include: skeletonisation and extraction of morphological and structural characteristics. Lastly, the unique image biomarker “QTS” is defined as: QTS=0.7137*Comp1+0.2863*Comp2.

A computing device is configured to receive, through a remote computing device, physiological data of a user. A computing device is configured to update an osteoporosis recovery program.

A surgical planning system for use in surgical procedures to repair an anatomy of interest includes a preplanning system to generate a virtual surgical plan and a mixed reality system that includes a visualization device wearable by a user to view the virtual surgical plan projected in a real environment. The virtual surgical plan includes a 3D virtual model of the anatomy of interest. When wearing the visualization device, the user can align the 3D virtual model with the real anatomy of interest, thereby achieving a registration between details of the virtual surgical plan and the real anatomy of interest. The registration enables a surgeon to implement the virtual surgical plan on the real anatomy of interest without the use of tracking markers.
