Home < 2011 Summer Project Week Spine Segmentation And Osteoporosis Screening in CT
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.
