Osteoporosis
A condition of bone mineral loss affecting the aging population
- Impacts 200 million people WW
- Leads to 9 million fractures each year
- Inflicts pain, morbidity, and mortality
- Direct annual costs: close to $20 billion in the US, €30+ billion in Europe
- Fractures and complications are preventable with lifestyle changes, diet, and medication
- However, Osteoporosis is largely underdiagnosed
Key Investigators
- Radnostics: Anthony Blumfield
- Albert Einstein College of Medicine: Einat Blumfield, MD
- BWH: Ron Kikinis, MD
- Montefiore Medical Center: Ruth Freeman, MD
- Albert Einstein College of Medicine: Hilary Umans, MD
Objective
Radnostics Osteoporosis Detection
A solution for early diagnosis of osteoporosis
- Tens of millions of CT scans are performed annually for various medical conditions
- Radnostics measures osteoporosis biomarkers in CT scans and detects patients at risk
- No need for a dedicated procedure
- No additional radiation
- No need for phantoms
- 100% automated
- Integration into the clinical workflow
Approach, Plan
Radnostics Beta 1 command line module migration to 3D Slicer v4
Progress
- Radnostics Beta 1 command line module migrated to 3D Slicer v4
- Blocking bugs resolved or worked around
- Feature request 2223: Access to DICOM header info from CLI executable assigned to Jim
Delivery Mechanism
This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a
- Slicer Module
- Extension -- commandline
