Bone microarchitecture 3D

Quibim

Quibim has developed this suite to characterize the trabecular bone microarchitecture based on the analysis of 3D post-processed MRI or CT images. The solution provides bone volume percentage, trabecular thickness, separation and irregularity analysis with fractals, and also combines these biomarkers in a single score, the quality of trabecular structure (QTS) score. The suite has been specifically designed to analyze the trabecular bone of distal regions and vertebrae and it helps identify initial deterioration in patients and follow them up. Analyzing the bone microarchitecture provides additional information to densitometry and supports the assessment of bone diseases such as osteoporosis, joints deterioration and fractures.
