based scenarios. In this optic, a recent study (Goff,
Slyfield, Kummari, Tkachenko, Fischer, Yi, Jekir,
Keaveny, & Hernandez 2012 highlights that size
and location of resorption cavities are influenced
by the local structure. There cavities were associated
to structure types (plate, rod and intersection) and
measured minutely on 3D images corresponding to
nine vertebral samples. Based on such a work and
on expert opinions, new constraints could be used to
validate a new BMU in our algorithm.
