Full description:

We would like to develop and automate a pipeline to monitor changes in bone strength in high-fracture-risk advanced prostate cancer patients, comparing different types of treatments. We are looking for public members/health professionals to advise on the proposal idea, review lay summary, share their views on the use of Computed Tomography scans in this manner, advise how it might be best to disseminate our findings.
