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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An automated machine learning program has been able to identify potential cardiovascular incidents or fall and fracture risks based on bone density scans taken during routine clinical testing. An ...

GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA)– Nearly one in five women and one in twenty men, over the age of 50, are affected by osteoporosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As part of our ...

When Debra cracked both a tooth and a bone in her foot in the same year, she thought something was not right. But it wasn't until she sought help from her doctor for brain fog and tiredness due to ...

For a sidebar on how this story came together, click here. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has long been the gold standard for osteoporosis screening. But now, thousands of patients may be ...

Preventive screenings, such as bone density tests, can help identify potential medical problems. Medicare covers some costs. Bone density tests may help prevent expensive reparative treatments.

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 ...
