American College of Radiology-MGH-NYU paper recommends using CT scans to opportunistically screen for osteoporosis: more accurate than DXA and can save Medicare over $2.5B per year. The benefits may be even greater, notes UCLA Professor and BDI CMO Matthew Budoff, MD.

In the March 2025 Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR) special issue on screening, a paper co-authored by ACR, Massachusetts General Hospital and NYU Langone Health experts recommends screening for osteoporosis ‘opportunistically’ using existing CT scans given its cost savings and greater accuracy versus DXA imaging. “CT bone density screening has been shown to be equivalent …

Bone density test using existing CT images can forecast fractures

Article by Kate Madden Yee Bone density measured on noncontrast cardiac CT can help predict future fractures, researchers have found. A team led by Dong Li, MD, PhD, of Emory School of Medicine in Atlanta and senior author Matthew Budoff, MD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, reported that patients with low trabecular bone …

NIH-Funded Study Shows BDI’s Bone Density Test Using Existing CT Images Predicts Fractures

BDI test enables early, easy detection of osteoporosis and fracture prevention. Using existing medical data for test removes the cost and other barriers to recommended osteoporosis screening. TORRANCE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– An NIH-funded study recently published in Osteoporosis International found that a bone density test (the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis) using one’s existing CT scan predicts (enabling prevention of) …
