Artificial neural network optimizes self-examination of osteoporosis risk in women.

The Journal of international medical research
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the application of an artificial neural network (ANN) in optimizing the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA) score.

Simulating Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in CT Using Deep-Learning Segmentation Cascade.

Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR
PURPOSE: Osteoporosis is an underdiagnosed condition despite effective screening modalities. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) screening, although recommended in clinical guidelines, remains markedly underutilized. In contrast to DEXA, CT utili...

A multi-scale data fusion framework for bone age assessment with convolutional neural networks.

Computers in biology and medicine
Bone age assessment (BAA) has various clinical applications such as diagnosis of endocrine disorders and prediction of final adult height for adolescents. Recent studies indicate that deep learning techniques have great potential in developing automa...

Random forest classifiers aid in the detection of incidental osteoblastic osseous metastases in DEXA studies.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) studies are used for screening patients for low bone mineral density (BMD). Patients with breast and prostate cancer are often treated with hormone-altering drugs that result in low BMD. These patients...

Can low-frequency guided waves at the tibia paired with machine learning differentiate between healthy and osteopenic/osteoporotic subjects? A pilot study.

Ultrasonics
PURPOSE: Axial transmission quantitative acoustics (ax-QA) has shown to be a promising tool for assessing bone health and properties in a safe, inexpensive, and portable manner. This study investigated the efficacy of low-frequency ax-QA measured at ...

A Novel Morphological Analysis of DXA-DICOM Images by Artificial Neural Networks for Estimating Bone Mineral Density in Health and Disease.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry
One of the best methods for diagnosing bone disease in humans is site-specific and total bone mineral density (BMD) measurements by Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) machines. The basic disadvantage of this technology is inconsistent BMD measure...

Sarcopenia: Beyond Muscle Atrophy and into the New Frontiers of Opportunistic Imaging, Precision Medicine, and Machine Learning.

Seminars in musculoskeletal radiology
As populations continue to age worldwide, the impact of sarcopenia on public health will continue to grow. The clinically relevant and increasingly common diagnosis of sarcopenia is at the confluence of three tectonic shifts in medicine: opportunisti...

Classification of the trabecular bone structure of osteoporotic patients using machine vision.

Computers in biology and medicine
Osteoporosis is a common bone disease which often leads to fractures. Clinically, the major challenge for the automatic diagnosis of osteoporosis is the complex architecture of bones. The clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis is conventionally done usin...

DXAGE: A New Method for Age at Death Estimation Based on Femoral Bone Mineral Density and Artificial Neural Networks.

Journal of forensic sciences
Age at death estimation in adult skeletons is hampered, among others, by the unremarkable correlation of bone estimators with chronological age, implementation of inappropriate statistical techniques, observer error, and skeletal incompleteness or de...
