👋 Hello, Bluesky!

We’re #METASTRA, an EU-funded research project working to improve fracture risk prediction in patients with vertebral metastases using advanced computational models.

We’ll be using this space to share updates, insights, and highlights from the project, so stay tuned! 🙌
📣 We’re excited to share our new #METASTRA patient infographic!

🩺 METASTRA is developing a decision support system (DSS) to help doctors personalise surgical treatment for patients with spinal metastases.

Happy AI Appreciation Day! 🤖

For us, #AI isn't just a buzzword. It's the core of our mission to predict spinal fracture risk in cancer patients, helping clinicians make clearer, life-saving decisions.

We're proud to be building AI for good.

🚨 New #METASTRA paper!

IVD degeneration boosts strain on metastatic vertebrae in flexion/compression, raising fracture risk. Healthy vertebrae? Less affected.

Supported by METASTRA, AO Spine & Fondazione del Monte.
