Development of computer-aided diagnosis programs and patient-matched instruments

As osteoarthritis progresses, degenerative changes become irreversible and cause severe joint dysfunction. The purpose of our research is to clarify the pathology of bone and joint diseases by using 3D kinematic analysis and joint stress analysis, which would lead to early diagnosis and early therapeutic intervention to preserve joint condition. Patient-matched instruments are also developed to restore normal joint morphology and motion. At the same time, we are developing programs to reproduce accurate 3D joint motion and to automatically convert 2D images into 3D models, using the image data storage of various bone and joint diseases.
