正常儿童颅骨的颅骨厚度和密度测量将为多个学科提供信息，包括神经外科、光学和磁电生理成像以及头部创伤的生物力学建模。我们报告了一种新的方法，用于自动提取在体颅骨厚度和密度测量的儿童颅骨的基础上，X射线计算机断层扫描（CT）。数据是从儿科人群的临床图像库中获取的，其中没有发现任何病理。颅骨厚度和密度的措施，系统地获得整个颅骨。我们发现了一组与生理年龄相关的措施，这些措施可能在多个学科中被证明是有用的。
Skull thickness and density measures of normal pediatric crania would inform multiple disciplines including neurosurgery, optical and magnetoelectrophysiological imaging, and biomechanical modeling of head trauma. We report on a new method for automated extraction of in vivo skull thickness and density measures of pediatric crania based on x-ray computed tomography scans (CT). Data were obtained from a clinical image repository for pediatric populations in whom no pathology was noted. Skull thickness and density measures were systematically obtained across the calvarium. We find a set of measures that correlated with physiological age that are likely to prove useful in multiple disciplines.
