Osteoporosis is characterized by changes to the trabecular bone micro-architecture in addition to reduction in bone mineral density (BMD). This study proposes using anisotropic Minkowski Functionals (AMF) for characterizing trabecular bone micro-architecture and evaluates their ability at predicting bone strength when analyzed with support vector regression (SVR).
