1 Introduction:
Dr.Muhammad Sarim,Bachelor of Science from Karachi University,Master of
Science from Karachi University,research assistant at Indus hospital and Reg-
istrar at Federal Urdu University of Arts,shared some of his interesting ex-
periences of how computer science techniques are applied for medical pur-
poses.Dr.Muhammad Sarim started his career as a cooperative teacher at Karachi
University then became a lecturer at Federal Urdu University of Arts.From Jan-
uary 2011-2012 was a visiting Research Fellow at University of Surrey [1].
His areas of interest includes the application of Computer Vision, Image
Processing and Machine Learning techniques in the domains of health care,
e-learning, security and media post productions.He is a Higher Education Com-
mission approved supervisor and member/reviewer of international organiza-
tions like IEEE, IET, BMVC and PPS. Dr Sarim has published several papers
in International Journals and Conferences on different problems of Image Pro-
cessing, Computer Vision and Machine learning.Currently he is supervising 5
PhD and 10 MS students[1].In this session,Dr Sarim shares with the students
about how computer science techniques are used for early detection of osteo-
porosis in human beings.
2 Osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a decrease in the density of bone,
decreasing its strength and resulting in fragile bones Osteoporosis literally leads
to abnormally porous bone that is compressible, like a sponge.This disorder of
the skeleton weakens the bone and results in frequent fractures in the bones[2].
Normal bone is composed of protein, collagen, and calcium, all of which give
bone its strength. Bones that are affected by osteoporosis can fracture with
relatively minor injury that normally would not cause a bone to fracture.The
fracture can be either in the form of cracking (as in a hip fracture) or collapsing
(as in a compression fracture of the vertebrae of the spine).The spine, hips,
ribs, and wrists are common areas of bone fractures from osteoporosis although
osteoporosis-related fractures can occur in almost any skeletal bone.
