ImageJ/Fiji users will be pleased to know that opening a DICOM stack with File > Import > Image Sequence results in correctly calibrated z pixel spacing.

DICOM slice position (0020,0032) and not slice thickness (0018,0050) fields are used to determine the size of the image stack.

It also speaks to the good scientific hygiene of taking some basic measurements from the physical specimens using tape, ruler or caliper, and including standard objects in the image to use as calibration sanity checks prior to later image analysis.

DON'T ASSUME THE INSTRUMENT IS PROPERLY CALIBRATED
OMG this is a good catch. We wrestled with this a long time ago when setting up Slice Geometry. The correct way to set slice spacing (pixel spacing in z) from a DICOM is to use the slice position info (0020,1041 or 0020,0032) and divide by (stack size - 1). It can be out by not much or quite a bit.
Analysis of 985(!!) baboon skulls' CT scan data from MorphoSource shows that >18% have slice spacing errors that propagate to downstream analyses-- an important cautionary tale on checking CT metadata vs. errors, and a goliath effort: peerj.com/articles/201...

Gotta admit, I'm pretty excited about this one. GPU-accelerated Local Thickness, for Tb.Th and Tb.Sp. This is the plugin in the @bonej.org logo, made MUCH faster by re-engineering for GPU parallelism.

Long, slender trabeculae pass across the marrow space. Trabeculae help resist weightbearing loads. But these ones don't appear to be in a good configuration to do that, unlike the spongy trabeculae nearby.

Maybe they're holding adipose tissue in place, preventing it from wobbling during locomotion?

The leftovers from last week's bœuf bourguignon. This is a 'marrow bone' after boiling out the adipose tissue for gravy and washing in lots of warm tap water, household detergents and a little chlorine bleach. Cortex & (glorious) trabeculae, growth plate 'scar', marrow cavity visible.

🦴 Up next for BoneJ+: GPU-accelerated Local Thickness.

The classic version is widely used for measuring trabecular thickness and separation (Tb.Th, Tb.Sp), but suffers from g.o.i.n.g v.e.r.y s.l.ow. on images with large or unbound features.

Looking at a release in October: stay tuned! 📻

📢 GPU-accelerated Anisotropy now in BoneJ+

The fabric tensor expresses the scale and orientation of textures like trabecular bone and other porous materials.

Runs on GPUs from Intel, NVIDIA and AMD, 10-100× faster than the classic version 🔥🔥🔥

Get a token from bonej.org/shop to try it out!

🔥🔥🔥 Upcoming plugin for BoneJ+, Anisotropy+ running on Intel, NVIDIA and AMD GPUs at the same time!

This one uses fields of line probes to determine the fabric tensor and calculate the degree of anisotropy, a measure of underlying texture orientation and scale.

Looking good for release next week 🤞

📢 Intel GPUs now supported by BoneJ+ 🤖

Today's new release lets BoneJ+ run on Intel GPUs, which are very common in laptops, in addition to NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. Even antique, 10-year-old ones are working.

Ellipsoid Factor+ is also going 1.5-3× faster.

Just let the ImageJ/Fiji updater run!

Looking good for a release early this week (CW36)

BoneJ+ will start to work on Intel GPUs and go faster on NVIDIA and AMD too.

😮 BoneJ+ running Ellipsoid Factor on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs simultaneously!

Look out for this super-helpful update coming soon: BoneJ will start to use GPU acceleration on many (most?) laptops, which have integrated Intel graphics.
