In this article, the importance of blood flow in bone repair and regeneration will be reviewed. First, the skeletal vascular anato- my, with an emphasis on long bones, the distinct mechanisms for vascularizing bone tissue, and methods for remodeling existing vasculature are discussed. Next, techniques for quantifying bone blood flow are briefly summarized. Finally, the body of experimental work that demonstrates the role of bone blood flow in fracture healing, distraction osteogenesis, osteoporosis, disuse osteopenia, and bone grafting is examined. These results illustrate that adequate bone blood flow is an important clinical consideration, particularly during bone regeneration and in at-risk patient groups.展开更多

However,under many circumstances,it is difficult to clearly observe the target object due to the existence of bubble noise. In this paper,we proposed a method to solve this problem. First,we used the LK optical flow algorithm to calculate the motion vector of the image background and compensate for the background motion.Then,the optical flow field of the bubbles was calculated by the HS optical flow algorithm,and the area where the bubble existed was obtained by binarizing the image. Finally,we used the adjacent frame image to repair the bubble area. We carried out a bubble noise removal experiment. The results show that this method can effectively remove the bubble noise in the image.展开更多
