Estimating Bone Mineral Density from Hip Radiographs Using Deep Learning for Osteoporosis Categorization

· 0 citations · 18 references

TL;DR

It is demonstrated that opportunistic osteoporosis screening from routine hip radiographs, combined with domain-aware preprocessing and transfer learning, can potentially provide a scalable and cost-effective alternative for wider osteoporosis risk stratification in resource-limited settings.

Hybrid neural network classification of knee osteoporosis using X-ray images and clinical features

Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease marked by decreased bone density and increased fracture risk, particularly in the knee. Early detection is crucial, but conventional diagnostic methods are often subjective and require specialized skills. This study developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model for automatic ost...

Machine learning-assisted osteoporosis detection using radiographic canal bone ratio (CBR-7) and demographic features.

PURPOSE Osteoporosis remains underdiagnosed in aging populations due to its asymptomatic nature and limited access to diagnostic imaging. The Canal Bone Ratio measured 7 cm distal to the lesser trochanter (CBR-7), obtainable from standard full-length spinal radiographs, has emerged as a potential surrogate marker for b...

Multimodal Osteoporosis Assessment using X-ray Imaging and Clinical Data with a Hybrid Deep Learning Model.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterised by low bone mass. The classification typically includes three stages: normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. Early detection is essential for effective treatment and reducing fracture risk. This detection is possible through X-ray imaging...

Deep learning–based BMD estimation from knee radiographs with conformal uncertainty quantification

Population-wide osteoporosis screening is hindered by limited access to Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Opportunistic screening using plain radiographs is a promising alternative, but safe clinical adoption requires models that can reliably quantify their uncertainty. We evaluated a deep learning model that...
