Advanced 2D image processing technique to predict hip fracture risk in an older population based on single DXA scans

Conclusion2D SSAM can dramatically improve hip fracture prediction at high specificity levels and estimate the year of the impending fracture using standard clinical images. This has the potential to be implemented in clinical practice to estimate hip fracture risk.
