OBJECTIVES: To establish a precise and efficient diagnostic framework for distinguishing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, radiation-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw, and normal bone tissue, thus enhancing clinical decision-making and enab...
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are the most common type of osteoporotic fractures, yet they are often clinically silent and undiagnosed. Chest frontal radiographs (CFRs) are frequently used in clinical practice and a portion of VCFs can be de...
BACKGROUND: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has demonstrated the feasibility of using HAP-water to respond to BMD changes without requiring dedicated software or calibration. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been utilized for diagnosising oste...
PURPOSE: Osteoporosis, affecting over 200 million individuals, often remains unrecognized and untreated, increasing the risk of fractures in older adults. Osteoporosis is typically diagnosed with bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-r...
Despite well-defined criteria for radiographic diagnosis of atypical femur fractures (AFFs), missed and delayed diagnosis is common. An AFF diagnostic software could provide timely AFF detection to prevent progression of incomplete or development of ...
Gaucher disease is one of the most common lysosomal storage disorders. Osteonecrosis is a principal clinical manifestation of Gaucher disease and often leads to joint collapse and fractures. T1-weighted (T1w) modality in MRI is widely used to monitor...
High cyclic strains induce formation of microcracks in bone, triggering targeted bone remodeling, which entails osteoclastic resorption. Racehorse bone is an ideal model for studying the effects of high-intensity loading, as it is subject to focal fo...
Osteoporosis is a common condition that can lead to fractures, mobility issues, and death. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for osteoporosis, it is expensive and not widely available. In contrast, kidney-ureter-bla...
Bone ranks as the third most frequent tissue affected by cancer metastases, following the lung and liver. Bone metastases are often painful and may result in pathological fracture, which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients....
BACKGROUND: Assessment of cortical bone porosity and geometry by imaging in vivo can provide useful information about bone quality that is independent of bone mineral density (BMD). Ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI techniques of measuring cortical bone...
