In collaboration
with Professor Libert’s Department (Faculté Polytechnique de Mons), the Région Wallone and La Maison de l’entreprise
(Mons-Belgium), Working Forms Softwares (W.F.S.) develops
softwares in order to recognize objects and analize their
movements.
With deltadyn® articular software it would be possible to
calculate quite accurately the articular mobility from a
standard X-ray exam. Deltadyn® articular treats the
DICOM, BMP or JPEG.
In case of vertebra algias, most of the time, X-ray examination
is made in a static position. If the radiologist makes a
dynamic examination the reading is made with his own eyes.
However the human eye is not reliable enough to calculate
the vertebral movement accurately. This gives a rough diagnosis
of the vertebral mobility, not very compatible with a scientific
approach.
We try to develop a software which recognizes the vertebrae
and calculates the vertebral movement automatically,
which can easily be applied in every day use.
With few radiologist’s interventions, Deltadyn®
articular would make it possible to recognize cervical, lumbar
and dorsal vertebrae in most movements. Then Deltadyn®
articular would calculate the mobility of each vertebra (flexion,
extension, bendings, rotations) compared to neutral position
or also the angular values of a scoliosis. Deltadyn®
articular would allow a global scientific study .
The first results emphasize mechanical disruptions not
detectable with the eyes. Deltadyn® articular would supplement
the static analysis that, by itself, cannot give a full
vertebral diagnosis.
In the same way, it would be possible to analize most of
the articulations.
Actually, Deltadyn® articular only works in a laboratory. |
