Assessment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures using specialized workflow software for 6-point morphometry

Vertebral Body Compression Fractures and Bone Density: Automated Detection and Classification on CT Images

“…Prior work to assess vertebral compression fractures on lateral radiographs has reached the stage of clinical application (31,32). We have designed a system to assess height loss on CT images and to incorporate the 3D characteristics of the vertebral body.…”

Automated Detection, Localization, and Classification of Traumatic Vertebral Body Fractures in the Thoracic and Lumbar Spine at CT

“…Prior work in the assessment of vertebral bodies for anterior height loss to detect fractures on lateral radiographs, oriented toward osteoporotic compression fractures, has reached clinical application (20,21). Additionally, research has been conducted for computerized assessment of compression fractures through the detection of vertebral body height loss on midline sagittal sections of lumbar computed tomographic (CT) images and on three-dimensional volumetric renderings (22,23).…”

New dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry equipment in the assessment of vertebral fractures: technical limits and software accuracy

“…Although some authors considered to test different software involved in the morphometric vertebral evaluation of spine radiographs [19,20], the software "point of view" has never been considered for DXA, which is probably due to the common integration of the morphometric analysis that is automatically performed and aided by DXA equipment to improve the semiquantitative assessment of VFA.…”
