ImageJ is an image processing program written in Java and allows running on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. ImageJ is fully open, and its Java source code is freely available and in the public domain. An image for analysis must be in a digital format, and conventional X-rays can be scanned or photographed using a digital camera and stored as a digital file. BMP and TIF files are used for high-quality raster-type graphics, which support lossless compression, in which no image data is lost during the compression process. Compressed formats like JPEG may provide sufficient quality for further analysis.
A step-by-step procedure for importing, detecting areas of interest, and analyzing will be explained, including saving and importing the result in a specific EXCEL spreadsheet for final age calculation.
