Visualizing osteoarthritis and other degenerative cartilage conditions

Reference number
Coordinator BioOptico AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 500 000
Project duration August 2011 - July 2012
Status Completed

Purpose and goal

BioOptico develops and licenses a new type of image processing algorithms to arthroscopy camera manufacturers. We have developed an algorithm that can detect and enhance early structural, degenerative stages of cartilage. Such changes are important predictors of osteoarthritis. This method may be a break-through in the arthroscopy field. This project is about development, clinical validation and protection of the new method. We already collaborate with a leading American camera manufacturer, who is our preferred licensee.

The project description has been provided by the project members themselves and the text has not been looked at by our editors.
