Root Mean Square (RMS) is a measure of the variability in the radiographic texture pattern, the relative difference in the contrast between light and dark areas is expressed in a grayscale level. In practical terms, a bone image with a washed-out appearance due to loss of trabecular structure such as that seen in osteoporosis, will have a low value for RMS because there will be relatively little contrast between lighter and darker areas of the image. An image of a bone with strong trabecular structure will have a high RMS value because the contrast between the lighter and darker areas of the image will be greater. To derive a measure of variability in the RMS in the region of interest in the bone image, the power spectrum is divided into 24 angular sectors at 15 degree intervals, and RMS is calculated for each segment. The iRMS (integrated RMS) roughly corresponds to RMS averaged across all 24 angular sectors

To derive a measure of variability in the RMS in the region of interest of the bone image, the power spectrum is divided into 24 angular sectors at 15 degree intervals, and RMS is calculated for each segment. We use sdRMS (standard deviation of the RMS across the segments) as a measure of the direction dependence (anisotropy) of the trabeculae in the bone image.

To derive a measure of variability and directionality in the first moment of the power spectrum (FMP) in the region of interest of the bone image, the power spectrum is divided into 24 angular sectors at 15 degree intervals, and FMP is calculated for each segment. We use iFMP (integrated FMP) as a measure of overall special frequency of the radiographic pattern. FMP characterizes spatial frequency in the radiographic pattern and the underlying trabecular structure. This corresponds to the coarseness or fineness of the radiographic texture pattern. A high level of FMP indicates thin and closely spaced trabecular structure. Low FMP indicates widely spaced dark areas usually corresponding to a strong, thick trabecular structure.

To derive a measure of variability and directionality in the first moment of the power spectrum (FMP) in the region of interest of the bone image, the power spectrum is divided into 24 angular sectors at 15 degree intervals and FMP is calculated for each segment. We use minFMP (minimum FMP) to represent the lowest value of FMP across the 24 angular sectors corresponding to the special frequency in the most washed-out direction. FMP characterizes spatial frequency in the radiographic pattern and the underlying trabecular structure. This corresponds to the coarseness or fineness of the radiographic texture pattern. A high level of FMP indicates thin and closely spaced trabecular structure. Low FMP indicates widely spaced dark areas usually corresponding to a strong, thick trabecular structure.

The Percent Change in Radiographic Texture Analysis (RTA) Minkowski Fractal Dimension (MINK) from Baseline to Month 24 is a description of the similarity of texture of the images at different magnifications. The Minkowski fractal dimension is calculated from the slope of the least -square fitted line relating log volume and log magnification.

The Percent Change in Radiographic Texture Analysis (RTA) spectral density coefficient beta (BETA) from Baseline to Month 24 is an analysis of spectral density vs. the spacial frequency on a log-log plot. BETA is the coefficient (slope) of this plot. Higher values of beta correspond to rougher (strong bone) and lower values to smoother, higher-frequency texture pattern (washed out bone).
