Machine learning automates osteoporosis diagnosis from hip X-rays

Researchers have developed an unsupervised machine learning approach to automate the diagnosis of osteoporosis using hip X-ray images. The system employs a custom convolutional neural network for feature extraction and clustering algorithms to categorize images into Singh Index (SI) grades. While the method shows promise, challenges such as dataset imbalance and the need for improved image quality and clinical data were identified. AI
