FEBRUARY 6, 2025

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 radiologists at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. First, the team culled a dataset from 907 patients over 50 years old who had undergone both DEXA scans and x-rays within 12 months.
