Abstract

UNLABELLED: Osteoporosis screening should be systematic in the group of over 50-year-old females with a radius fracture. We tested a phantom combined with machine learning model and studied osteoporosis-related variables. This machine learning model for screening osteoporosis using plain radiographs requires further investigation in larger cohorts to assess its potential as a replacement for DXA measurements in settings where DXA is not available.
