Opportunistic screening for osteoporosis and osteopenia using machine learning
Dr. Rizwan Aslam, of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), presented an abstract at RSNA in 2008 which showed that it was possible to screen for osteoporosis from CT colonoscopy scans while I was a resident at UCSF. Subsequently, other papers showed that there were strong correlations between CT measurements and the measurements obtained from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
