Specialist computer software is being developed in Manchester to identify the early onset of osteoporosis. With £660,000 from the Department of Health and the Wellcome Trust through the Health Innovation Challenge Fund, Manchester University will work with Optasia Medical and Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to develop a system that automatically analyses the subtle changes that indicate the presence of the disease. According to Tim Cootes, a professor of imaging from the Institute of Population Health based at Manchester University, the research will focus on vertebrae in the spine and how they appear in X-rays, particularly DXA dual-energy, low-dose X-rays.
