Deep-learning model predicts bone density on chest x-rays

AuntMinnie

Presenter Yoichi Sato, MD, of Tokyo Shinjuku Medical Center in Japan, and colleagues first developed the model using patient dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) T-scores (bone mineral density) and chest x-rays as input. The model achieved 79% accuracy, 96.6% sensitivity, and 34.1% specificity in predicting T-scores ≤ -1.0 accuracy, 77.1%
