BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Accurate diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) is important for improving treatment outcomes; however, the gold standard has not been established yet. A deep-learning approach based on convolutional neural network (CN...
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic disease of high prevalence and incidence, leading to bone fractures burdened by high mortality and disability, mainly when several subsequent fractures occur. A fragility fracture predictive model, Artifici...
Vertebral fractures (VFs) cause serious problems, such as substantial functional loss and a high mortality rate, and a delayed diagnosis may further worsen the prognosis. Plain thoracolumbar radiography (PTLR) is an essential method for the evaluatio...
OBJECTIVE: Hip fractures are among the most frequently occurring fragility fractures in older adults, associated with a loss of quality of life, high mortality, and high use of healthcare resources. The aim was to apply the superlearner method to pre...
Background Detection of vertebral fractures (VFs) aids in management of osteoporosis and targeting of fracture prevention therapies. Purpose To determine whether convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can be trained to identify VFs at VF assessment (VF...
OBJECTIVEIntravertebral augmentation (IVA) is a reliable minimally invasive technique for treating Magerl type A vertebral body fractures. However, poor correction of kyphotic angulation, the risk of cement leakage, and significant exposure to radiat...
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) are prevalent in older adults and are associated with substantial personal suffering and socio-economic burden. Early diagnosis and treatment of OVFs are critical to prevent further fractures and morbidity. How...
Apply machine learning principles to predict hip fractures and estimate predictor importance in Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-scanned men and women. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry data from two Danish regions between 1996 and 2006 were com...
Ensemble learning methods are one of the most powerful tools for the pattern classification problems. In this paper, the effects of ensemble learning methods and some physical bone densitometry parameters on osteoporotic fracture detection were inves...
