Abstract

Based on the traditional fractal theory and on the paper of Stehlík, (2009) the range of fractal dimension of osteoporosis vertebras is analysed. First we give an insight into the field of fractals and the usage of fractals in medicine. After this we show how the analytical tool of Stehlík, (2009) may be applied to the osteoporosis vertebras. It turns out that the used method can be applied very well and that it could help with medical diagnosis. Real data example illustrates the methods discussed.
