Abstract--Astronauts in flight tend to lose bone mass, some suffering damage to their bones. New non-invasive tools are available to estimate bone damage during space flight. UH researchers have developed a program designed to analyze and quantify possible types of damage. They are using "extreme value statistics" to estimate loss of strength in bone.
