Claim 8:
9. The method for obtaining an image biomarker that quantifies the quality of the trabecular structure of bones, according to claim 7, wherein binarization comprises:
discretising the high-resolution trabecular images obtained from removing the partial volume effect into binary code in such a way that the voxels representing the trabeculae are represented by “1's” and the voxels representing bone marrow are represented by “0's”;
applying a bimodal threshold algorithm on a histogram of a volume;
minimising a variance of intra-class intensities; and
obtaining a 3D binarized volume made up only of “1's” and “0's”.
