TCA5, TC-HiResFoot - High-resolution Imaging and Simulation of Diabetic Foot Complications

Since the clinical picture of diabetic foot syndromes, especially Charcot foot, is often insufficiently recognized, incidences are steadily increasing. In this activity (TC05) we will develop a comprehensive approach that includes the differential diagnosis based on X-ray and computed tomography (CT) data, investigations of the effect of pathological changes in bone microstructure on biomechanics, and training of orthopedic surgeons on surgical simulators.
