題目：Multiscale modelling of the musculoskeletal apparatus to
題目：predict the risk of bone fracture.
題目：骨折リスク予測のための筋骨格系のマルチスケールモデリング

内容の概要説明：

The Virtual Physiological Human is a framework of methods and technologies that once established will makes possible to investigate the human body as whole.  The European Commission is actively supporting the creation of the virtual physiological human framework through the funding of various research projects. One of the largest ones, VPHOP, aims to develop a subject-specific, probabilistic multiscale model of the musculoskeletal system, to be used for the prediction of the risk of fracture in patients affected by osteoporosis.  The seminar will start by detailing the consolidated validation results of the group at the Rizzoli Institute in Bologna on the creation of subject-specific finite element models of bone segments.  These will introduce the description of the research scenario within the VPHOP project, presenting the technologies currently available and those that are still under development.  A particular attention will be given to the tentative architecture that the VPHOP consortium is exploring for the automatic composition of integrative models, both in terms of use cases within the biomedical research context, and in terms of information technology research involved.  These research scenarios will be openly debated with the participants to the seminar, in the final part of the event.
