Abstract

BACKGROUND: Bone fracture risk assessment for osteoporotic patients is essential for implementing early countermeasures and preventing discomfort and hospitalization. Current methodologies, such as Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX), provide a risk assessment over a 5- to 10-year period rather than evaluating the bone's current health status.
