Tea and IBEX

So why tea? Research suggests that certain compounds found in tea, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, may contribute to bone density and strength. These elements are believed to play a role in the bone remodeling process, where old bone tissue is replaced by new, healthier tissue. Awareness is the first step to change There are…

A New Approach for Identifying Fracture Risk from a Standard Digital Radiograph

IBEX Trueview® software uses physics modelling and AI methods to return an accurate measurement of bone health from standard DR scans. The software aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs through increased identification of patients at risk of fracture. Opportunistic Fracture Risk Prediction Trueview’s output is correlated to DXA-derived areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and can therefore be combined with other…
