Existing problems in osteoporosis diagnostics are directly influence on patient's treatment outcomes.
IB Lab FLAMINGO is here to help.
Mission:
Silent fractures are common and usually undetected and largely untreated. The number one risk factor to predict a secondary fracture is a previous fracture. Vertebral fractures (VFs) are the most common fractures but only 1 in 3 is brought to clinical attention. Missing the chance for intervention can lead to significant patient, economic, and healthcare burdens. Making the first fracture the last would mitigate these problems.
Vision:
Ensure existing unrecognized vertebral fractures are recognized and brought to clinical attention to ensure appropriate treatment. IB Lab FLAMINGO aims to screen opportunistically all CT scans that contain the spine taken for any reason and make sure the clinically most relevant VFs in these exams are brought to the attention of the bone health specialist.
