  ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the use of a photodensitometry to analyze plain radiographic images and correlate them with the rate of new bone formation in a critical size defect of a rabbit radius filled with an autologous omental graft. The computer program MCID Evaluation 7.0. was used for photodensitometric processing of X-ray images taken at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after surgery. The study was conducted on 20 adult New Zealand white rabbits under general anaesthesia, critical-sized osseous defect was created in the right radius and in treated group filled with autogenous omental graft. Optical densitometry of radiographs revealed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control sites. The study showed that autogenous omental grafts promoted healing of the critical-sized defect of the rabbit radius.
