Statistics-based classification of tissues in the mandibular region

The authors present a statistical evaluation of T₁-weighted and T₂-weighted images of healthy and diseased human tissues. In each patient, the statistical data were evaluated from several tissues, namely the bone, bone marrow, muscle, fat, white matter and gray matter tissue types. Based on the acquired statistical data, we compiled new statistics. In the given tissue samples, we evaluated the following statistical quantities: standard deviation (s.d.), skewness, and kurtosis. The box plots and a small statistical database were created. This database is currently used to determine the tissues.
