Densitometry projects

In order to optimize the fracture risk assessment of the osteoporotic patient, the Bone Strain Index was developed, a Software Medical Device that provides information on the stress and deformation of bone segments starting from specific load conditions for each patient.

BodyCompTA is a research project that aims at the development and integration of specific tools for interpreting body composition data within the diagnostic devices currently available to doctors.

In order to optimize preoperative planning and follow-up of hip arthroplasty we investigated the role of DEXA-based finite element analysis as a support tool for clinicians and surgeons. BSIOrtho is a research project in which the mechanical response of the bone to the type of prosthetic implant was evaluated by comparing specific patient FE models of the intact femur and the prosthetic femur.
