ABSTRACT

In this paper we assessment of osteoporosis in patients with prostate cancer using computed radiography, the Bone metastases are a common cause of morbidity in patients with prostate carcinoma. Imaging bone metastases from prostate cancer presents several challenges. The lesions are usually sclerotic and appear late on the conventional X-ray. patient’s osteoporosis with prostate cancer imaging with x.ray and the images analysing by Interactive Data Language IDL software version 6.1 to measure the grey level variation of x.ray images with spine and hip examinations, data was available for 200 patients with x.ray hip and spine examinations , 100 normal and 100 osteoporosis patients with hip and spine x.ray. The results show that the mean of up normal and normal CR for hip regions was 2526.43±310.63 and 619.67±86.39, and for normal and up normal CR spine the mean was 1988±592.44 and 598.77±73.44. and by using T.Test show that there is significant difference between normal and up normal CR for hip regions. and between normal and up normal CR spine. Linear regression results show that the rate of change between normal and up normal hip decreasing, and same for normal and up normal CR spine. Conclusion: there is significant difference between normal and up normal CR for hip regions, and between normal and up normal CR spine, and the rate of change between normal and up normal hip decreasing, for normal and up normal CR spine.
