Abstract Purpose of Review Opportunistic screening is a combination of techniques to
identify subjects of high risk for osteoporotic fracture using routine clinical CT scans …

Fracture is considered a critical clinical endpoint in skeletal pathologies including
osteoporosis and bone metastases. However, current clinical guidelines are limited with …

The objective of this study was to develop a new calibration method that enables calibration
of Hounsfield units (HU) to bone mineral densities (BMD) without the use of a calibration …

Opportunistic screening is a new promising technique to identify individuals at high risk for
osteoporotic fracture using computed tomography (CT) scans originally acquired for an …

Objectives Quantitative computed tomography (QCT)–based finite element analysis (FEA)
implements a calibration phantom to estimate bone mineral density (BMD) and assign …

Osteoporosis affects an increasing number of people every year and patient specific finite
element analysis of the femur has been proposed to identify patients that could benefit from …

Opportunistic screening using existing CT images may be a new strategy to identify subjects
at increased risk for osteoporotic fracture. Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a key …

The primary stability of a total ankle replacement (TAR) is essential in preventing long-term
aseptic loosening failure and could be quantified based on micromotion at the bone …

Metastatic lesions compromise the mechanical integrity of vertebrae, increasing the fracture
risk. Screw fixation is usually performed to guarantee spinal stability and prevent dramatic …

This paper provides a starting point for researchers and practitioners from biology, medicine,
physics and engineering who can benefit from an up-to-date literature survey on patient …
