PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF X-RAY DENSITOMETRY IN OSTEOPOROSIS

Computerized methods for X-ray-based small bone densitometry

Animal models have been widely used to correlate in vivo changes in bone mineral density (BMD) with changes in disease state of bone. In small animal models, e.g. the hindlimb suspension model of bone loss, a non-invasive assessment of BMD is required. X-ray radiography has been surpassed in some cases by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) quantitation. ...

Discordance in diagnosis of osteoporosis using spine and femur bone densitometry: prevalence and related factors

Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate prevalence and risk factors for diagnostic discordance for osteoporosis due to different T-scores of lumbar spine and femoral neck. Methods: In this cross sectional study demographic, anthropometric and risk factors for osteoporosis were derived from a database on 3,039 post-menopausal women who underwent bone densitometry for the first time i...

Detection of Osteoporosis in X-Ray image data

–– This thesis approaches the problem of detecting osteoporosis on X-ray images of different patients by means of machine learning. Osteoporosis has become one of the western world’’s most imminent conditions [1] for elderly people, both male and female, as it causes a reduction in bone strength thus leading to a higher risk of broken bones [2]. While effective treatment is still largely unknow...
