TBS iNsight is a software application provided for use as a complement to bone mineral density (BMD) acquired from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and other clinical risk factors for osteoporosis and fragility fracture. It calculates a score (Trabecular Bone Score - TBS) derived from the texture of the DXA image of the anterior-posterior (AP) lumbar spine and has been shown to be related to bone microarchitecture. The method analyzes X-ray based images acquired by DXA imaging systems and produces the TBS based on the computation of an Adapted Experimental Variogram (modified fractal-like approach). This variogram is used to measure the degree of spatial variation between pairs of data points in a spatial dimension of a region of a digital image.
An individual software program or group of programs, routines or algorithms that add specific image processing and/or analysis capabilities to a general-purpose x-ray imaging system configuration. A basic set of applications programs and routines are included with such computer-controlled imaging systems and they can be upgraded to correct programming errors or to add new system capabilities. Some applications software routines or groups of routine packages must be combined with specific hardware or firmware accessories or configurations in order to function as intended. Applications program packages are typically identified by a proprietary name and "version" or "upgrade" number.
