Scientists from Australia and Canada have created a new algorithm, which can identify heart disease only during investigation.
Highlights
- Australia-Canada scientists developed a new algorithm.
- This algorithm can identify heart disease in bones examination.
- New technology will reveal the risk of bone fracture and heart disease quickly.
Scientists from Australia and Canada have created a new algorithm, which can quickly identify the risk of heart disease and bone fracture during a normal examination of bones. According to the Xinhua News Agency report, this technique has been created by scientists from Edith Cowan University of Australia and University of Manitoba in Canada. With this, during the examination of bones, other serious diseases can be detected in advance and the health of elderly people will be improved.
What is the specialty of the system
The specialty of this system is that it identifies the spinal scan image (called VFA) and identifies the calcification (AAC) of the main artery of the stomach. AAC is associated with risks like heart attack, stroke and fall. Earlier it used to take 5–6 minutes for an expert to know about AAC, but now this new technology can check thousands of images in less than a minute. With this, it will be possible to check a large number of people quickly.
Know about the scientists’ debate
According to Casendra Smith, a researcher at Edith Kovan University, 58% of the elderly women who conducted a general check -up of bones were more than moderate AAC, but they were not aware of this risk of heart disease.
– He told that women are often unable to check heart disease and could not be treated. Since there are no clear symptoms of this disease, this problem often remains hidden. But with this new technology, it can be detected only while examining bones.
– Another researcher Mark Sim found that AAC is not only a sign of heart disease, but it can also be a big reason for falling and bone. He said that the new algorithm gives more correct information than old methods.
– He said, “We have found that the more AAC is, the greater the risk of falling and fracture of the person. The doctor usually does not pay attention to it, but this new technique meets this deficiency.”
– The result is that now during the examination of bones, information can also be found about the patient’s artery and heart health, due to which the risk or fracture of falling when the bone becomes weak can be treated in advance and treated in time.
