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.

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...
