Abstract :
A very high standardization of realization and acquisition of images is compulsory. The authors are currently developing studies in wide populations, preliminary results show an increase in fractal dimension with age and menopause. The characterization of the polar diagram shape can, provide an anisotropy indicator; comparison of calcaneus and radius images has shown the potential interest of such an anisotropy study
