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...
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic diseases that is characterized by a decrease in bone density and a loss of the quality of the bone structure. The use of deep learning in the prediction of osteoporosis can provide a non-in...

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis (OP) is a condition that significantly decreases bone density and strength, often remaining undetected until the occurrence of a fracture. Timely identification of OP is essential for preventing fractures, reducing morbidity,...
PURPOSE: Fragility fractures associated with osteoporosis and osteopenia are a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Current methods of diagnosing low bone mineral density require specialized dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. Plain hand radio...
INTRODUCTION: The problem of population aging is intensifying worldwide. Osteoporosis has become an important cause affecting the health status of older populations. However, the diagnosis of osteoporosis and people's understanding of it are seriousl...
BACKGROUND: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has demonstrated the feasibility of using HAP-water to respond to BMD changes without requiring dedicated software or calibration. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been utilized for diagnosising oste...
PURPOSE: Osteoporosis, affecting over 200 million individuals, often remains unrecognized and untreated, increasing the risk of fractures in older adults. Osteoporosis is typically diagnosed with bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-r...

There is limited evidence that heavy metals exposure contributes to osteoporosis. Multi-parameter scoring machine learning (ML) techniques were developed using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to predict osteoporosis based on hea...
OBJECTIVE: This review aims to explore the strengths and dilemmas of existing osteoporosis screening tools and suggest possible ways of optimization, in addition to exploring the potential of AI-integrated X-ray imaging in osteoporosis screening, esp...
