Many novel biomaterials are recently investigated for use in spinal fusion surgery, especially in lumbar interbody fusion. The X-ray microCT as a tool is widely used for evaluation, how successfully can those biomaterials perform the vertebral fusion. However, the current methodologies of microCT images assessment are based on visual evaluation by a radiologist. The aim of the project is to develop a novel approach for automatic quantitative evaluation of microCT data without the need for time-consuming subjective evaluation by a radiologist.

Description in English
The aim of the project is to create a competition for student research grants and its pilot verification. The creation of a new competition will contribute to the development of cross-sectional skills of doctoral students, and thus acquire competencies for work in science and research in the future and increase their success in submitting scientific projects to national and international competitions.
