  • Method and System for Providing Fracture/No Fracture Classification
    Publication number: 20080058613
    Abstract: A method of classifying fracture risk for a patient is presented. The method includes determining a fracture index of the patient. Either a fracture classification or a non-fracture classification is assigned to the patient based, at least in part, on the fracture index. A confidence level of the assigned classification is determined.

  • System and method of predicting future fractures
    Publication number: 20060062442
    Abstract: Methods of predicting fracture risk of a patient include: obtaining an image of a bone of the patient; determining one or more bone structure parameters; predicting a fracture line with the bone structure parameter; predicting a fracture load at which a fracture will happen; estimating body habitus of the patient; calculating a peak impact force on the bone when the patient falls; and predicting a fracture risk by calculating the ratio between the peak impact force and the fracture load. Inventive methods also includes determining the effect of a candidate agent on any subject's risk of fracture.
