Mappings

Risk of Bone Fracture

Fracture 1 (B31): We don't understand how the space flight environment affects bone fracture healing in-flight.

Combined Scanning Confocal Ultrasound Diagnostic and Treatment System for Bone Quality Assessment and Fracture Healing

Risk Of Early Onset Osteoporosis Due To Spaceflight

Osteo 5 (B10): We need an inflight capability to monitor bone turnover and bone mass changes during spaceflight.

Osteo 6: How do skeletal changes due to spaceflight modify the terrestrial risk of osteoporotic fractures?

Combined Scanning Confocal Ultrasound Diagnostic and Treatment System for Bone Quality Assessment and Fracture Healing

Risk of Unacceptable Health and Mission Outcomes Due to Limitations of In-flight Medical Capabilities

ExMC 4.02: Limited non-invasive diagnostic imaging capability and techniques to diagnose conditions on the Space Medicine Exploration Medical Condition List

ExMC 4.06: Limited capability to stabilize and treat bone fractures

Common Item(s)
	Risk Of Early Onset Osteoporosis Due To Spaceflight
	B10: How can skeletal adaptation be monitored during flight to a) reflect changes in bone turnover/calcium kinetics, b) to determine whether there is a plateau in bone loss and c) to evaluate gender effects? (merged with Osteo 5)
	Osteo 5 (B10): We need an inflight capability to monitor bone turnover and bone mass changes during spaceflight.
