Study shows low bone density (i.e., osteopenia/osteoporosis) levels correlating to elevated coronary calcium/cardiovascular disease risk levels. This risk stratification makes such findings (that may otherwise go undetected) actionable for improved clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. TORRANCE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Many studies have shown the inverse relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) – the gold standard measure for …
CT imaging may offer a better picture of fracture risk than DEXA bone mineral density (BMD) measurements in people with diabetes, a group of researchers from BDI and Johns Hopkins recently reported. “[Our] findings suggest that [DEXA] BMD measurements may not fully capture the well-known fracture risk in diabetes,” the team wrote. The group’s results were published July 29 in Skeletal …
BDI CEO Jonathan Taub will discuss BDI and recent developments in medical image analytics at the Q3 2025 Health Systems Innovation Council Meeting sponsored by the Hospital Association of Southern California, the Alliance for SoCal Innovation, and The Lundquist Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. https://alliancesocal.org/event/hsic-meeting-q3-2025/
CT scan analytics developed over a decade by BDI, Inc for bone density and fracture assessment have again been validated – this time using an AI algorithm BDI co-developed with Johns Hopkins University in a study recently published in Radiology. The AI algorithm accurately measures 3D whole thoracic vertebral bone mineral density and not only detects …
