Osteoporosis progresses gradually and painlessly over many years. Many people do not have their bone density measured until they break a bone or develop back pain. By then, bone loss is usually already well advanced. In the BMDNow joint research project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD are collaborating closely with Goethe University Frankfurt and IT company Garritz Online Media International to develop software that helps detect osteoporosis at an early stage, before fractures occur.
