Meet POROUS at OSTEOLOGIE 2022 Baden-Baden, 18.-20. September 2022

We are excited to present the POROUS bone diagnosis technology at the OSTEOLOGIE 2022 in Baden-Baden in September. The inventor of the POROUS technology Prof. Kay Raum will share the latest study results and show the fracture discrimination performance in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density by multiparametric bone ultrasound imaging.

OSTEOLOGIE 2022 is an annual conference that provides comprehensive information on current developments in osteology with a thematic focus on osteoporosis. More information can be found here.

If you are attending OSTEOLOGIE 2022, we happily invite you to visit us at booth 65. Kay Raum, Jonas Massmann and Julia Eschenbrenner will be present, and are looking forward to see you there!

Focus on Stronger Pig Bones
The Swiss breeding company Suisag, FBN Dummerstorf, and POROUS have launched the “PigBoneS” project to breed pigs with improved phosphorus utilization and stronger bones.

POROUS uses a non-invasive 3D ultrasound method to measure bone density and stability in slaughtered animals, primarily Swiss Large White pigs. The forefoot (metacarpus) serves as an indicator of bone health, complemented by blood analyses for phosphorus utilization markers. The aim is to identify genetic markers for these traits.

The project promotes bone health while reducing phosphorus excretion. It is supported by the Eureka Eurostars program, Innosuisse, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
