Osteoporosis is a serious health problem for older women. Fracture rates for weak bones exceed rates for heart attacks, stroke and breast cancer combined\[12\]. Complications resulting from hip fractures can be fatal, with a quarter of women aged 50 or over dying within a year\[4\]. Long-term care following a fracture costs the NHS and Social Services mor...

This project will demonstrate a unique method of screening for osteoporosis using widely available mammography services and screening programs. Osteoporosis is a condition that affects over 20% of women over the age of 50\. Fragility fractures resulting from the condition have a devastating impact on health, mortality and quality of life and cost the glob...

Trueview is an advanced software product that enables bone health diagnoses to be made using standard X-ray scans, rather than the specialised DXA scans currently required. The technology has been shown to provide accurate diagnosis of osteoporosis on forearm X-rays and this project will further develop the technology to allow it to be used on a wider ran...

Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease that leads to deterioration of bone structure and density, resulting in a significantly increased risk of fragility fractures. An estimated 17% of men and 34% of women are affected by osteoporosis worldwide and in 2017, fragility fractures cost the UK €5.5bn with an associated one-year mortality rate of 33%. This pro...

The Covid-19 pandemic has seen a huge increase in the number of hospital admissions for patients requiring care in intensive therapy/care units (ITU). These patients are often critically ill, immobile and in need of rapid interventions to assist with breathing, feeding and deployment of other health support systems. This influx has also highlighted how in...

This project will develop the proof of concept of an innovative multi-channel AI method to improve the prevention and diagnosis of fragility fractures. Digital radiology (DR) remains the standard imaging protocol for fracture detection after trauma and whilst the majority of pathologies are correctly identified, a significant proportion are missed, leadin...

"The project will develop and commercialise novel technologies to radically improve the safety, effectiveness and patient comfort of X-ray breast imaging. Firstly, the project will adapt the IBEX Trueview(r) gridless scatter correction method for use in mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) systems and demonstrate its effectiveness to reduce ...

"The project aims to demonstrate a production-compatible X-ray food inspection system capable of reliably detecting both plastic contaminants during the manufacture of chocolate confectionary products, and bone fragments in the meat processing industry. The project will combine a novel multi-spectral X-ray imaging technology from IBEX Innovations Limited ...

IBEX Innovations has recognised an opportunity to adapt its patented X-ray detector technology to Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). CBCT is a medical X-ray imaging technique that enables 3D reconstructions of body parts to be collected using a much simpler, cheaper and more flexible set-up compared to conventional Computed Tomography (CT) systems. How...

Mammography is a widely-adopted X-ray screening method used to detect and diagnose breast cancer earlier. Abnormalities in the breast are identified through contrast changes in the X-ray image. X-ray mammography is the only mass screening programme where patients are exposed to ionising radiation in a radio-sensitive organ, increasing the risk of radiatio...
