Osteoporosis Prediction from Hand and Wrist X-rays using Image Segmentation and Self-Supervised Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Osteoporosis is a widespread and chronic metabolic bone disease that often remains undiagnosed and untreated due to limited access to bone mineral density (BMD) tests like Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In response to this challenge, current advancements are pivoting towards detecting osteoporosis by examining alternative indicators from ...

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2002 Abstract Osteoporosis is characterised by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and consequent increase in fracture risk. It is a common condition affecting one in three women and one in 12 men, resulting in substantial morbidity, excess mortality, and health and social ...

In major joint diseases the human synovium retains its potential to form repair cartilage
Scientific Reports, 2023 The inner surface layer of human joints, the synovium, is a source of stem cells for the repair of articular cartilage defects. We investigated the potential of the normal human synovium to form novel cartilage and compared its chondrogenic capacity with

Osteoporosis or Low Bone Mass in Older Adults: United States, 2017-2018.
NCHS data brief, 2021 Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease and is characterized by weakening of bone tissue, bone structure, and strength, and may lead to increased risk of fractures (1). Low bone mass increases the risk of developing osteoporosis (2).

arXiv, 2021 In this chapter we explore and evaluate methods for trabecular bone characterization and osteoporosis diagnosis with increased interest in sparse approximations. We first describe texture representation and classification techniques, patch-based methods such as Bag of Keypoints, and more recent deep neural networks.

Osteoporosis Prediction Using VGG16 and ResNet50
International Journal of Innovative Science and Research TechnologyLow bone mass and structural degradation are the hallmarks of osteoporosis, a disorder that increases the risk of fractures, especially in the elderly. For prompt intervention and fracture prevention, early identification is essential.
