Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a predictive model for osteoporosis and osteopenia prediction by fusing deep transfer learning (DTL) features and classical radiomics features based on single-source dual-energy computed tomography (CT) virtual monochromatic imaging. METHODS A total of 606 lumbar vertebrae with dual-energy CT imaging and quantitative CT (QCT) evaluation were included in the retrospective study and randomly divided into the training (n = 424) and validation (n = 182) cohorts. Radiomics features and DTL features were extracted from 70-keV monochromatic CT images, followed by feature selection and model construction, radiomics and DTL features models were established. Then, we integrated the selected two types of features into a features fusion model. We developed a two-level classifier for the hierarchical pairwise classification of each vertebra. All the vertebrae were first classified into osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis groups, then non-osteoporosis group was classified into osteopenia and normal groups. QCT was used as reference. The predictive performance and clinical usefulness of three models were evaluated and compared. RESULTS The area under the curve (AUC) of the features fusion, radiomics and DTL models for the classification between osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis were 0.981, 0.999, 0.997 in the training cohort and 0.979, 0.943, 0.848 in the validation cohort. Furthermore, the AUCs of the previously mentioned models for the differentiation between osteopenia and normal were 0.994, 0.971, 0.996 in the training cohort and 0.990, 0.968, 0.908 in the validation cohort. The overall accuracy of the previously mentioned models for two-level classifications was 0.979, 0.955, 0.908 in the training cohort and 0.918, 0.885, 0.841 in the validation cohort. Decision curve analysis showed that all models had high clinical value. CONCLUSION The feature fusion model can be used for osteoporosis and osteopenia prediction with improved predictive ability over a radiomics model or a DTL model alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by low bone mass, damaged bone microstructure, increased bone fragility, and susceptibility to fractures. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, a series of studies have reported deep learning applications in the screening and diagnosis of osteoporosis. The aim of this review was to summary the application of deep learning methods in the radiologic diagnosis of osteoporosis. METHODS We conducted a two-step literature search using the PubMed and Web of Science databases. In this review, we focused on routine radiologic methods, such as X-ray, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, used to opportunistically screen for osteoporosis. RESULTS A total of 40 studies were included in this review. These studies were divided into three categories: osteoporosis screening (n = 20), bone mineral density prediction (n = 13), and osteoporotic fracture risk prediction and detection (n = 7). CONCLUSIONS Deep learning has demonstrated a remarkable capacity for osteoporosis screening. However, clinical commercialization of a diagnostic model for osteoporosis remains a challenge.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, marked by low bone mineral density (BMD) and a high fracture risk, is a major health issue. Recent progress in medical imaging, especially CT scans, offers new ways of diagnosing and assessing osteoporosis. This review examines the use of AI analysis of CT scans to stratify BMD and diagnose osteoporosis. By summarizing the relevant studies, we aimed to assess the effectiveness, constraints, and potential impact of AI-based osteoporosis classification (severity) via CT. A systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov) was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 39 articles were retrieved from the databases, and the key findings were compiled and summarized, including the regions analyzed, the type of CT imaging, and their efficacy in predicting BMD compared with conventional DXA studies. Important considerations and limitations are also discussed. The overall reported accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of AI in classifying osteoporosis using CT images ranged from 61.8% to 99.4%, 41.0% to 100.0%, and 31.0% to 100.0% respectively, with areas under the curve (AUCs) ranging from 0.582 to 0.994. While additional research is necessary to validate the clinical efficacy and reproducibility of these AI tools before incorporating them into routine clinical practice, these studies demonstrate the promising potential of using CT to opportunistically predict and classify osteoporosis without the need for DEXA.
