Spine Strength Analysis
A research group at the Harvard affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center works on improving the quality of life of cancer patients by estimating the safe load on the spinal column for each patient based on medical imaging.
Ebatinca has created a series of software modules that compute physical characteristics of each vertebra in the spine, estimating the stress they can take before failure. This helps the clinicians establishing safe guidelines for each patient, and to learn more about the physical behavior of the spinal column after damage inflicted by nearby cancer.
