Abstract Purpose of Review Opportunistic screening is a combination of techniques to
identify subjects of high risk for osteoporotic fracture using routine clinical CT scans …

BACKGROUND The preoperative identification of osteoporosis in the spine surgery
population is of crucial importance. Limitations associated with dual-energy x-ray …

Objectives To investigate whether a deep learning model can predict the bone mineral
density (BMD) of lumbar vertebrae from unenhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) …

Osteoporosis has a high incidence and a low detection rate. If it is not detected in time, it will
cause osteoporotic fracture and other serious consequences. This study showed that the …

Background: In the aging population, osteoporosis and related complications have become
a global public health problem. Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are among the …

Study Design. Retrospective analysis. Objective. To investigate the prevalence of
osteoporosis (OP) in patients undergoing lumbar fusion for lumbar degenerative diseases …

OBJECTIVE One vexing problem after lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) surgery is cage
subsidence. Low bone mineral density (BMD) may contribute to subsidence, and BMD is …

OBJECTIVE Postoperative subsidence of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)
cages can result in loss of lordosis and foraminal height, and potential recurrence of nerve …

Study Design. Systematic review. Objective. This work aimed to compare the Hounsfield
units (HU) value obtained from computed tomography and the t score of dual-energy x-ray …

OBJECTIVE The authors aimed to compare the efficacy of lumbar vertebral body Hounsfield
units (HUs) and pedicle HUs at predicting pedicle screw loosening. METHODS The authors …
