AI Article Synopsis
- Metabolic bone diseases, particularly osteoporosis, significantly affect health care systems and patient well-being, mainly through vertebral fractures (VFs).
- This review highlights advanced imaging techniques for diagnosing and quantifying VFs, with a specific focus on different populations, including children.
- It concludes by discussing the future of osteoporosis screening, emphasizing opportunistic diagnosis and the role of artificial intelligence in improving detection methods.
Article Abstract
Metabolic bone diseases comprise a wide spectrum. Osteoporosis, the most frequent, characteristically involves the spine, with a high impact on health care systems and on the morbidity of patients due to the occurrence of vertebral fractures (VFs).Part II of this review completes an overview of state-of-the-art techniques on the imaging of metabolic bone diseases of the spine, focusing on specific populations and future perspectives. We address the relevance of diagnosis and current status on VF assessment and quantification. We also analyze the diagnostic techniques in the pediatric population and then review the assessment of body composition around the spine and its potential application. We conclude with a discussion of the future of osteoporosis screening, through opportunistic diagnosis and the application of artificial intelligence.
