OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the CT attenuation of bones seen on shoulder CT scans could be used to predict low bone mineral density (BMD) (osteopenia/osteoporosis), and to compare the performance of two machine learning models to predict low BMD.
Background Diagnosing osteoporosis is challenging due to its often asymptomatic presentation, which highlights the importance of providing screening for high-risk populations. Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry ...
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...

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...
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 ...
To assess whether application of a support vector machine learning algorithm to ancillary data obtained from posterior-anterior dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) studies could identify patients with lumbar spine (L1-L4) vertebral body fractures...
