  1. Thoracic bone mineral density predicts osteoporosis in humans (QCT reference standard) (AUC 0.998 (95% CI: 0.960-1.000); threshold ≤90.86 mg/cm3; sensitivity 100.0%, specificity 97.6%).

    “In the osteoporosis analysis,the T10-T12 BMD achieved the highest AUC of 0.998 (95% CI: 0.960-1.000)”

Chest scan model identified scan-defined osteoporosis in adults

In a separate test group of 2,490 adults, the model achieved a discrimination score of 0.993, where 1 represents perfect separation.In a separate test group of 2,490 adults, the model achieved a discrimination score of 0.993, where 1 represents perfect separation.
