PhD thesis defense Alice Dudle
Congratulations to Alice Dudle for her successful PhD thesis defense on 4 December 2023! At the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics lab and as part of the SNF Sinergia project AFFIRM-CT, Alice has investigated risk parameters for fragility fractures at the hip. Her thesis “DXA- and QCT-based modeling of the human proximal femur towards improved hip fracture prediction” developed image processing methods required to include both DXA and QCT images into a hip fracture calculator.
Spatio-temporal evolution of the proximal femur with age: BMD change per year for women (upper row) and men (lower row). Gray spheres represent non-significant correlations between age and BMD (p>0.05).
