This study addresses the pressing need for improved methods to predict lean mass in adults, and in particular lean body mass (LBM), appendicular lean mass (ALM), and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) for the early detection and management of s...
The excessive accumulation and malfunctioning of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a major determinant of increased risk of obesity-related comorbidities. Thus, risk stratification of people living with obesity according to their amount of VAT is of c...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop machine learning methods to estimate bone mineral density and detect osteopenia/osteoporosis from conventional lumbar MRI (T1-weighted and T2-weighted images) and planar radiography in combination with clinical da...
Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder, is expected to affect 60% of women aged over 50 years. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, the current gold standard, are typically used post-fracture, highlighting the need for early detection tools. Pano...
To develop and test an NLP algorithm that accurately detects the presence of information reported from DXA scans containing femoral neck T-scores of the patients scanned. A rule-based NLP algorithm that iteratively built a collection of regular exp...
PURPOSE: Fragility fractures associated with osteoporosis and osteopenia are a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Current methods of diagnosing low bone mineral density require specialized dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. Plain hand radio...
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...
OBJECTIVE: This review aims to explore the strengths and dilemmas of existing osteoporosis screening tools and suggest possible ways of optimization, in addition to exploring the potential of AI-integrated X-ray imaging in osteoporosis screening, esp...
INTRODUCTION: In Iran, the assessment of osteoporosis through tools like dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry poses significant challenges due to their high costs and limited availability, particularly in small cities and rural areas. Our objective was t...
Accurately estimating biological age is beneficial for measuring aging and predicting risk. It is widely accepted that the prevalence of spine compression increases significantly with age. However, biological age based on vertebral morphological data...
