Full-length radiographs contain information from which many anatomical parameters of the pelvis, femur, and tibia may be derived, but only a few anatomical parameters are used for musculoskeletal modeling. This study aimed to develop a fully automati...

INTRODUCTION: The assessment of the knee alignment on long leg radiographs (LLR) postoperative to corrective knee osteotomies (CKOs) is highly dependent on the reader's expertise. Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms may help automate and standard...
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: The radiographic assessment of bone morphology impacts implant selection and fixation type in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and is important to minimize the risk of periprosthetic femur fracture (PFF). We utilized a deep-learning algorithm...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of machine learning analysis based on proximal femur of abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans in screening for abnormal bone mass in femur.
PURPOSE: Angular and longitudinal deformities of leg alignment create excessive stresses across joints, leading to pain and impaired function. Multiple measurements are used to assess these deformities on anteroposterior (AP) full-length radiographs....
Atypical femur fractures (AFF) represent a very rare type of fracture that can be difficult to discriminate radiologically from normal femur fractures (NFF). AFFs are associated with drugs that are administered to prevent osteoporosis-related fragili...
