Atypical Femur Fracture Risk versus Fragility Fracture Prevention with Bisphosphonates.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates are effective in reducing hip and osteoporotic fractures. However, concerns about atypical femur fractures have contributed to substantially decreased bisphosphonate use, and the incidence of hip fractures may be increasing ...

Segmentation of the Proximal Femur from MR Images using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as a complimentary method to measure bone quality and assess fracture risk. However, manual segmentation of MR images of bone is time-consuming, limiting the use of MRI measurements in the clinical ...
