With the increased volume of CT studies and the number of slices in each, diagnostic radiologists need to focus their attention on the clinical situation at stake, at the expense of potential under diagnosis of incidental findings. One commonly underdiagnosed entity is skeletal conditions in the region of the spine. Our goal is to create a fully automated screening tool to detect incidental findings in the skeletal system in CT studies, while requiring the attention of a radiologist only in cases of positive findings.
Our first mission is fully automated segmentation of the spine and detection of osteoporosis findings.

Objective
Osteoporosis is common, devastating, and treatable
We are building a fully automated screening tool for findings of osteoporosis, including vertebral fractures and low bone density in CT scans performed for other clinical reasons.
Approach, Plan
NA-MIC Spine Segmentation Challenge + full automation
Slicer integration
Progress
Basic integration complete
Atlas integration in the works
