Background: Recent technological advances have introduced novel methods for measuring body composition, each with unique benefits and limitations. The choice of method often depends on the trade-offs between accuracy, cost, participant burden, and the ability to measure specific body composition compartments.
Objective: To review the considerations of cost, accuracy, portability, and participant burden in reference and emerging body composition assessment methods, and to evaluate their clinical applicability.

Introduction: Patients with primary hip osteoarthritis undergoing unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) often face uncertainty about the future need for arthroplasty in the contralateral hip. We aimed to identify parameters that have predictive value with regard to the necessity for contralateral THA or the development of contralateral radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) phenotypes following index surgery.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed 220 patients undergoing THA.

Introduction: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a major cause of morbidity, disability, and mortality among the elderly. Traditional methods for fracture risk assessment, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), may not fully capture the complex factors contributing to fracture risk. This study aims to enhance vertebral fracture risk prediction by integrating radiomics features extracted from computed tomography (CT) scans with clinical data, utilizing advanced machine learning techniques.
