The project focuses on developing a cost-effective technology called IBEX-Quantitative Digital Radiography to measure bone mineral density using standard X-ray systems. This innovation aims to enable routine screening for osteoporosis, improving early diagnosis and reducing healthcare costs.
Bone density loss is a natural process that affects us all as we age.
As the loss advances, so does the risk of fracture.
The lack of warning symptoms or routine tests results in a late detection of severe density loss (osteoporosis), often when the first fracture occurs.
Besides being a major social burden, in the EU it entails costs of €37 bn/year in treatment, disability or productivity loss, which could be alleviated if population-wide bone health screening methods were available.
