Osteoporosis ("porous bones"‚ from Greek: οστούν/ostoun meaning "bone" and πόρος/poros meaning "pore") is a progressive bone disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density which can lead to an increased risk of fracture.[1] In osteoporosis‚ the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced‚ bone microarchitecture deteriorates‚ and the amount and variety of proteins in bone are altered. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a bone mineral density of 2.5 standard

called picolinic acid‚ a product derived from amino acid tryptophan ‚ is said to stimulate bone formation rather than just stop bone destruction like other earlier medications.

Present the detection and segmentation of bone fracture using Fuzzy-c Means and Multilevel wavelet algorithm. Bone Fracture detection has become a research area in the medical imaging system. Bone fracture detection helps in finding the fracture in the various body parts like hand‚ leg‚ and rib fracture etc. The system is consisting of four stages to detect and segment a fracture. An efficient algorithm is proposed for bone fracture based on thresholding and fuzzy C-Means segmentation and morphological
