Plain knee radiographs were obtained from KBD patients (n\u2009=\u200949) and age-matched healthy controls (n\u2009=\u200998). KBD were graded with diagnostic criteria WS\/T 207-2010. The textural values related to bone structure from medial and lateral tibial subchondral and trabecular bones were evaluated using entropy of Laplacian-based image (E<jats:sub>Lap<\/jats:sub>), entropy of local binary patterns (E<jats:sub>LBP<\/jats:sub>), homogeneity indices (HI) of local angles (HI<jats:sub>Mean<\/jats:sub>, HI<jats:sub>Perp<\/jats:sub> and HI<jats:sub>Paral<\/jats:sub>), and fractal dimensions from horizontal (FD<jats:sub>Hor<\/jats:sub>) and vertical (FD<jats:sub>Ver<\/jats:sub>) structures. KBD patients were shorter in height and lighter in weight, and their tibial width was wider than controls. Anatomical angle of KBD patients showed more genu valgus. Total KBD patients and subgroups had higher E<jats:sub>Lap<\/jats:sub>, HI<jats:sub>Mean<\/jats:sub>, HI<jats:sub>Perp<\/jats:sub> and HI<jats:sub>Paral<\/jats:sub> in detected tibial subchondral and trabecular bones than controls, except E<jats:sub>Lap<\/jats:sub> in lateral subchondral bone. E<jats:sub>LBP<\/jats:sub>, FD<jats:sub>Hor<\/jats:sub> and FD<jats:sub>Ver<\/jats:sub> from the detected tibial bone in KBD patients and subgroups were lower than controls, except FD<jats:sub>Ver<\/jats:sub> in lateral trabecular bone. Our results indicate that micro-scale in bone texture in KBD-affected knees can be quantitatively examined from plain radiographs using an advanced image analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-35552-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,26]],"date-time":"2018-11-26T18:17:37Z","timestamp":1543256257000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparison of bone texture between normal individuals and patients with Kashin-Beck disease from plain radiographs in knee"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Wenrong","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jukka","family":"Hirvasniemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiong","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simo","family":"Saarakkala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6181-9904","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikko J.","family":"Lammi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chengjuan","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"35552_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1007\/s002640100248","volume":"25","author":"X Guo","year":"2001","unstructured":"Guo, X.
