syngo Osteo CT

Clinical Applications
The software package is used as a screening tool for osteoporosis detection and also for follow-up to see the impact of treatment.

Features
It enables the quantitative determination of bone mineral content of the lumbar spine in mg/ml of calcium hydroxyapatite for the diagnosis and follow-up of osteoporosis with CT. The patient is scanned together with the water- and bone-equivalent reference phantom.

Capabilities include:

• Semi-automatic contour tracing for the trabecular and cortical bone regions in the vertebra
• Semi-automatic determination of the regions of interest for the reference phantom
• Calculation of bone mineral content in mg/ml of calcium hydroxyapatite
• Graphics presentation of measurement results as compared to reference data.
