Reducing osteoporosis treatment backlog with IBEX Trueview fracture risk prediction software tool on standard plain radiographs

Trueview是一种先进的软件产品，可以使用标准X射线扫描进行骨骼健康诊断，而不是目前所需的专业DXA扫描。该技术已被证明可以在前臂X射线上提供骨质疏松症的准确诊断，该项目将进一步开发该技术，使其能够用于更广泛的身体部位，可以评估提供骨骼健康诊断，包括脚踝，骨盆、股骨和肱骨。该项目将在埃克塞特大学的一项人类临床研究中评估这些开发的性能，最终输出支持监管认证和正在进行的商业化和采用活动。一个成功的项目将促进产品的推广和采用，该产品将对骨质疏松症治疗等待时间产生重大影响，并将减少脆性骨折的数量，沿着其相关的健康和社会保健费用。

Trueview is an advanced software product that enables bone health diagnoses to be made using standard X-ray scans, rather than the specialised DXA scans currently required.The technology has been shown to provide accurate diagnosis of osteoporosis on forearm X-rays and this project will further develop the technology to allow it to be used on a wider range of body parts that can be assessed to provide a bone health diagnosis including ankle, pelvis, femur and humerus.The project will assess the performance of these developments in a human clinical study at the University of Exeter, with the final outputs supporting regulatory certification and ongoing commercialisation and adoption activities.A successful project will facilitate roll-out and adoption of a product that will have a significant impact on osteoporosis treatment waiting times and will reduce the numbers of fragility fractures incurred, along with their associated health and social care costs.
