Opportunistic osteoporosis screening in intraoperative CT can accurately identify patients with low volumetric bone mineral density and osteoporosis during spine surgery
Opportunistic osteoporosis screening with the presented approach is feasible and demonstrates high accuracy in reference to preoperative MDCT scans. This could enable the identification of patients with low bone mass during surgery, allowing surgeons to take measures (e.g., adapted techniques) that prevent postoperative complications and improve patient outcomes.
