Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The problem of population aging is intensifying worldwide. Osteoporosis has become an important cause affecting the health status of older populations. However, the diagnosis of osteoporosis and people's understanding of it are seriously insufficient. We aim to develop a deep learning model to automatically measure bone mineral density (BMD) and improve the diagnostic rate of osteoporosis.
