Activity Description
This talk explores how AI can transform opportunistic imaging, mining routinely acquired imaging studies, to detect low bone density and identify patients at risk for osteoporosis without additional costs or radiation. The end-to-end pipeline from algorithm development and external validation to workflow integration and reporting, highlighting performance, calibration, and generalizability across sites and scanners will be discussed. Real-world case studies will illustrate clinical impact on fracture risk stratification and care pathways and implementation logistics.
Learning Objectives
- Define opportunistic imaging
- Describe CT-based bone density evolution
- Identify technical factors affecting CT BMD
- Evaluate AI applications
- Assess disparities and population impact
- Describe factors affecting clinical benefits of opportunistic imaging
Instructions
Clinicians and Technologists are required to answer a set of online test questions following the review of the video and will have up to three attempts to answer questions correctly before losing credit for the activity. Once the activity test has been passed (75% or higher), you will be asked to evaluate the activity online and then be allowed to claim credit and print certificates.
