Hip x-rays help screen for osteoporosis in THA patients
In this study, the group expanded on this research by investigating the correlation between indices on standardized preoperative x-rays of the hip and the proximal femoral neck T-score, measured by DEXA, in a Caucasian population with a high number of male patients.An example of measurement on plain anterior-posterior x-rays used in the study: canal-bone-ratio CBR-7 cm (Cm/Cc) and CBR-10 cm (Dm/Dc), canal-calcar ratio CCR (Dm/Bm); canal flare index CFI (A/Dm). Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.The group retrospectively analyzed results from 216 elderly male and female Caucasian patients treated with unilateral THA for p...

Deep-learning model predicts bone density on chest x-rays
Monday, November 27 | 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | M4-SSMK03-4 | Room E450AA deep-learning AI model will be presented in this session that can predict bone mineral density T-scores from chest x-rays.Presenter Yoichi Sato, MD, of Tokyo Shinjuku Medical Center in Japan, and colleagues first developed the model using patient dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) T-scores (bone mineral density) and chest x-rays as input. They then trained the algorithm on a data set of 47,150 x-rays (23,151 patients) and validated it on an external data set of 2,914 radiographs (1,515 patients).The model achieved 79% accuracy, 96.6% sensitivity, ...

Algorithm hunts for unreported osteoporosis markers on chest x-rays
Thursday, November 30 | 8:50 a.m.-9:00 a.m. | R1-SSCH09-5 | Room E352An AI algorithm can find radiographic markers for osteoporosis that are common but often not reported on radiology reports, according to this scientific paper.To date, AI models in medical imaging have often commonly focused on radiological finding detection to provide direct diagnostic assistance to radiologists, according to presenter Jonathan Stephan Luchs, MD. This recent study, however, investigated a use case to enhance osteoporosis risk characterization.The presence of osteopenia and spine wedge fracture are strong indicators of osteoporosis. Detec...
