Abstract

ImageJ software is a versatile, open-source software for visualizing, processing, and analyzing images, which has contributed to its widespread adoption in the scientific community. A notable application of this software is its integration with scanning electron microscope images, where surface roughness can be quantified. This study aims to highlight the need for knowledge and standardization of the technique selected for analysis to ensure the viability of ImageJ software as a reliable alternative for evaluating the surface roughness of dental implants. Images obtained by scanning electron microscopy, depending on the plugin used or the researcher's standardization, yielded different surface roughness values, which were assessed via ImageJ. Thirty grade 4 titanium osseointegrated dental implants via all treated with similar surface treatment methods were studied. Two groups were formed for analysis via ImageJ: Group 1 assessed surface roughness using only the SurfCharJ plugin (n = 12), and Group 2 assessed surface roughness using both the roughness/waviness and SurfCharJ plugin (n = 18). The results showed that the use of different plugins can lead to different outcomes, potentially affecting the quality of the study. This study concluded that a standardized methodology is necessary to ensure consistency in results obtained via ImageJ.

ImageJ 软件在牙科植入物粗糙度分析中的应用。
ImageJ 软件是一款用于可视化、处理和分析图像的多功能开源软件,因此在科学界得到广泛应用。该软件的一个显著应用是与扫描电子显微镜图像相结合,对表面粗糙度进行量化。本研究旨在强调对分析所选技术的了解和标准化的必要性,以确保 ImageJ 软件作为评估牙科种植体表面粗糙度的可靠替代方案的可行性。通过扫描电子显微镜获得的图像会产生不同的表面粗糙度值,这取决于所使用的插件或研究人员的标准化程度,并通过 ImageJ 进行评估。研究对象为 30 个 4 级钛骨结合牙科植入体,所有植入体均采用类似的表面处理方法。通过 ImageJ 分析分为两组:第一组仅使用 SurfCharJ 插件评估表面粗糙度(n = 12),第二组同时使用粗糙度/波度和 SurfCharJ 插件评估表面粗糙度(n = 18)。结果表明,使用不同的插件会导致不同的结果,从而可能影响研究质量。这项研究认为,有必要采用标准化方法来确保通过 ImageJ 获得的结果的一致性。
