Computer-assisted Diagnosis of Dyschondrosteosis Based on Skeletal X-ray Geometry

Filippo Gianpaolo De , Quintus Fabien , Hejblum Gilles , Bougneres Pierre

Background: Bone X-rays provide the main diagnostic parameters for chondrodysplasia, including common dyschondrosteosis (DC). Skeleton is usually studied piece by piece by visual analysis in search of characteristic signs. The phenotypic spectrum of DC is large. Indeed, children who have seemingly idiopathic short stature (ISS) may have subtle forms of DC that can be unrecognized.Objectives: Provide a user-friendly computer-assisted program that facilita...
