Abstract

NOVELTY - The curvature (L1-L4) of spine at two neighboring vertebrae is calculated. The different curvature values are computed to obtain a value representative of the degree of irregularity in curvature of spine. The risk of future fracture in vertebrae of spine is estimated using the degree of irregularity in curvature of spine.
