Abstract
National Experiences in Telemedicine and eHealth: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of new method
(RODIA System) to monitor mineralization of the fracture gap on digitalized xray,
osteolysis or loosening around orthopaedic implants or other bone
pathology. Collection of radiographs of various orthopaedic pathologies was
digitized for further analysis. Image Evaluation Module and Fracture Healing
Monitor Module of Relative Optical Density Image Analysis (RODIA) System
[1] were utilized for images evaluation. Search for subtle fracture line,
assessment of the bone osteolysis around orthopaedic implants, and progress
of bone tumour retrospective evaluation were performed with RODIA System.
Developed Relative Optical De nsity Image Analysis System (RODIA System)
allows remote analyzing and measure digitized X-ray image to reliably
enhance of image evaluation.
