PURPOSE: The main objective of this study is to assess the possibility of using radiomics, deep learning, and transfer learning methods for the analysis of chest CT scans. An additional aim is to combine these techniques with bone turnover markers to...
Osteoporotic fractures are a major health challenge in older adults. Despite the availability of safe and effective therapies for osteoporosis, these therapies are underused in individuals at high risk for fracture, calling for better case-finding an...
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 ...

PURPOSE: Osteoporosis is a common bone disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and increased bone fragility, which can lead to fractures and eventually cause morbidity and mortality. It is of great concern that the one-year mor...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) has shown exceptional promise in various domains of medical research. However, its application in predicting subsequent fragility fractures is still largely unknown. In this study, we aim to evaluate the predictive p...
BACKGROUND: Prior studies have suggested a potential relationship between osteoporosis and sarcopenia, both of which can present symptoms of compromised mobility. Additionally, fractures among the elderly are often considered a common outcome of both...
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.
Osteoporotic femoral neck fractures (OFNFs) pose a significant orthopedic challenge in the elderly population, accounting for up to 40% of all osteoporotic fractures and leading to considerable health deterioration and increased mortality. In address...
