Modeling and Features Extraction of Heel Bone Fracture Reparation Dynamical Process from X-Ray Images Based on Time Iteration Segmentation Model Driven by Gaussian Energy.

Tracking of the bone reparation is one of the crucial task in the clinical traumatology. Such reparation period is conventionally subjectively observed by the clinicians. Such procedure leads to subjective errors. Therefore, mathematical model would autonomously classify respective stage of the bone healing would have significant impact to clinical practice of the traumatology. We have proposed a time deformation segmentation model based on the fitting Gaussian energy for detection and modeling of the periosteal callus which is clinically perceived as one of the dominant features determining stage of the heel bone fracture, as well as speed of the heeling. In our analysis we have compared two groups of the patients: controlled and granted group where each of them was differently loaded after placing heel bone fixator. This analysis leads to objective classification of such therapeutic procedure corresponding with the most optimal healing process.
