Abstract

Certain traumatic situations, congenital diseases or cancers can cause bone loss and require bone grafts or implants. Bone substitutes prepared from calcium phosphates such as hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) or Beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-Ca3(PO4)2) are used in orthopedic and dental surgery and they present good biocompatibility and bioactivity. These biomaterials in different forms: paste, granule or screw and their biological integration is influenced by structure and microstructure as well as the architecture, porosity, location and bone / implant connectivity. The aim of this study is segmenting and analyzing nanobiocomposite granules with low crystalline structure from bone. The simple thresholding is not sufficient, for that we have developed a novel method that combine different segmentation methods and then determine the volume of the defect, segmented the granules in the defect, calculate their size distribution.
