Osteoporosis affects approximately 200 million women globally, with an estimated increase of 9 million individuals each year. Because it rarely presents with symptoms, osteoporosis is difficult to diagnose, making it important to provide screening for high-risk populations. Opportunistic screening using AI may be useful for patients who are asymptomatic and do not otherwise meet the formal criteria for bone density testing with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Chin Lin, PhD, National Defense Medical Center in Taipei, Taiwan, and colleagues sought to evaluate the effectiveness of DXA screening in high-risk patients with osteoporosis identified by an AI model using chest radiographs. The results were published in an article in Radiology. “Providing DXA screening to a high-risk group identified with AI-enabled chest radiographs can effectively diagnose more patients with osteoporosis,” the authors conclude.

Happy birthday, Irène Joliot-Curie, PhD, born this day in 1897! Dr. Joliot-Curie served as a nurse radiographer during WWI and later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 with her husband, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, in recognition of their synthesis of new radioactive elements.
