Research summary
Research Summary
An ionising radiation-free tool will be use to try to calculate the risk of fracture in vertebrae of cancer patients with known spinal metastases who are at risk of spinal cord compression.
Summary of Results
The participants did not sustain spinal fractures or develop spinal pain, therefore, the data taken from Fine SA could not be used to demonstrate that there was an ability to predict symptoms during the period of the study.
