Summary

Our pilot investigations indicate that computer-assisted analysis of plain films is clinically valuable, clinically desireable, and technically feasible. Interactive analysis is achievable in the near future, but automated analysis is a longer-term goal. For some applications, such as osteoporosis evaluation, automatic analysis is not quantitative in an absolute sense. It is, however, likely to be valuable for assessing change in an individual patient and may provide an alternative to sequential CT scans for this purpose.
