Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Osteoporosis, a common condition characterised by decreased bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, leading to increased fracture risk, is a significant health concern. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), have limitations in sensitivity and accessibility. However, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has brought promising tools capable of analysing complex medical data to enhance the detection and prediction of osteoporosis-related bone properties. This systematic review protocol outlines the methodology to evaluate the application and effectiveness of AI and ML methods in detecting bone properties and osteoporosis. It underscores their potential to revolutionise healthcare by providing more accurate and accessible osteoporosis detection and prediction tools.
