Areal BMD from Dual energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DXA) accounts for approximately two-thirds of bone strength and is used as a surrogate for bone strength in clinical practice to predict fracture risk. Nevertheless, a more in-depth assessment of bone quality requires second level imaging techniques to assess bone quality parameters. Bone quality is a key parameter in determining bone strength. During time, several non-invasive high-resolution imaging techniques have been develo...

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, and the consequence of an increased fracture risk. The term “artificial intelligence (AI)” denotes a field in computer science which enables computers to simulate different aspects of human intelligence, such as natural language understanding, pattern recognition or data driven learning. Machine Learning is a subset of AI, and withi...
