Researchers have used machine learning to assess bone density scans for calcification in the aorta, the body’s main artery. They say their method could be used to predict future cardiovascular and ...

The assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) is a cornerstone in the evaluation of skeletal health, with advanced imaging techniques playing an essential role in both research and clinical settings.

Overview of the proposed method. The training dataset consists of real X-ray images, quantitative CT (QCT) images, and the BMD measurements of 315 patients. The bone region in QCT was extracted and ...

Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) are developing an artificial intelligence algorithm that can use bone density scans captured to detect potential spine fractures to estimate visceral fat ...

Toronto (CTV Network) — A simple and common bone density scan could help identify if someone is at risk of developing late-life dementia, according to a new international study led by researchers in ...

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that’s common in the United States, affecting almost 20 percent of women and 5 percent of men over age 50. Osteoporosis occurs when bones are weakened by hormone shifts ...

If you’re someone who’s at risk for developing osteoporosis, you’re probably well-accustomed to receiving regular bone density tests. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) is a radiologic ...
