Are semi-automated software programs designed for adults accurate for the identification of vertebral fractures in children?
The goal of this study was to test if using AVERT™ (a 33-point semi-automated program developed for VF diagnosis in adults) is better for morphometric vertebral fracture (VF) diagnosis in children than using SpineAnalyzer™, a 6-point program which has previously been shown to be of insufficient accuracy. The authors were able to conclude that, although VERT™ has slightly higher accuracy
