An AI model that detects low bone mineral density (BMD) on ankle and foot x-rays could be useful for screening for osteoporosis, according to research published in the European Journal of Radiology. Given that gold standard dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans are underused in screening, the tool could be used opportunistically, noted radiologists at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
