Abstract

BACKGROUND: The gold standard method for diagnosing low bone mineral density (BMD) is using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) however, most patients with low BMD are often not screened. We aimed to create a deep learning (DL) model to screen for osteoporosis/osteopenia in patients by using radiographs of the foot or ankle.
