Short description:
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease that decreases bone strength and increases the risk of fracture. Current diagnostic tools are not accurate enough in stratifying patients at high risk of fracture who need treatment. In this project we will develop an image-processing and computational modelling pipeline to assess the risk of fracture in patients and evaluate the effect of anti-Osteoporosis treatments on the bone strength and risk of fracture.
