BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis, a silent killing disease of fracture risk, is normally determined based on the bone mineral density (BMD) and T-score values measured in bone. However, development of standard algorithms for accurate segmentation and BMD mea...
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether a deep learning model can predict the bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar vertebrae from unenhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) images.
BACKGROUND: One of the main diagnostic tools for lung diseases in humans is computed tomography (CT). A miniaturized version, micro-CT (μCT) is utilized to examine small rodents including mice. However, fully automated threshold-based segmentation an...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to validate the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI) prototype application in determining bone mineral density (BMD) from chest computed tomography (CT), as compared with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry ...
Osteoporosis is a prevalent but underdiagnosed condition. As compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures, we aimed to develop a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model to classify osteopenia and osteoporosis with the use of lum...
Vertebral fractures (VFs) cause serious problems, such as substantial functional loss and a high mortality rate, and a delayed diagnosis may further worsen the prognosis. Plain thoracolumbar radiography (PTLR) is an essential method for the evaluatio...
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic disease of high prevalence and incidence, leading to bone fractures burdened by high mortality and disability, mainly when several subsequent fractures occur. A fragility fracture predictive model, Artifici...

BACKGROUND: Vertebral fractures are the most common osteoporotic fractures in older individuals. Recent studies suggest that the performance of artificial intelligence is equal to humans in detecting osteoporotic fractures, such as fractures of the h...
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is underutilized to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and evaluate fracture risk. We present an automated tool to identify fractures, predict BMD, and evaluate fracture risk using plain radiographs. The tool pe...
