Abstract
The rapid and continuing progress in computerized medical image
reconstruction and the associated developments in analysis methods and coputer-
aided diagnosis have propelled medical imaging as one of the most important
sub-fields in scientific imaging. One important area is the fracture detection
from x-ray images, where automated toois are used to detect fractures.
In order to develop an automated fracture detection system, a clear
understanding of human skeletal system, bone and fractures is required. This
paper provides description on each of these topics.
