Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Development of a predictive software tool that will analyze dual-energy CT scans of the spine, and use the image information to estimate the probability of the patient to suffer an osteoporotic fracture.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Non-fractureExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
subjects without a lumbar fracture will have a Dexa scan and Dual Energy CT (DECT) scan for observation/evaluation
