Intelligent identification of osteoporosis on hip X-rays using vision transformer

The ViT-based deep learning model showed excellent performance in classifying bone mineral density using hip X-rays, with high accuracy and generalizability. Relying on routine X-ray images, this method provides a cost-effective and efficient tool for osteoporosis screening, with strong potential for clinical implementation in primary care settings.

Abstract

The ViT-based deep learning model showed excellent performance in classifying bone mineral density using hip X-rays, with high accuracy and generalizability. Relying on routine X-ray images, this method provides a cost-effective and efficient tool for osteoporosis screening, with strong potential for clinical implementation in primary care settings.
