TLDR
A solution that aids early diagnosis of osteoporosis using x-ray radiographs only is suggested and the use of T-score and Z-score reference values that are not based on the local population are suggested.Abstract:
Osteoporosis is the “Silent disease” in which the microarchitecture of bones becomes weak due to the low bone mass density. This common public health problem has lack of symptoms, and at the moment can only be diagnosed using a technique called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The DEXA scan of a bone provides bone mineral density (BMD), which is compared against the standard BMD values for diagnoses. The availability of DEXA machine in a third world country like Pakistan is an issue because of its high cost and the high percentage of population living in rural areas with limited health care facilities. The aim of this paper is to review the published work on this subject and suggest a solution that aids early diagnosis of osteoporosis using x-ray radiographs only. An associated problem is the use of T-score and Z-score reference values that are not based on the local population.read more

Bone mineral density comparison of total body, lumbar and thoracic: an exploratory study.
TL;DR: The bone mineral density of male and blacks was higher than female and non-black races in total body, lumbar and thoracic spine, and might predict early fracture risk.
Vitamin D Acts as Bio-marker For Predicting IVF Success: A Case Study

TL;DR: Since AMH has already been identified as an indicator of ovarian reserve and IVF success, in medical literature, it can be concluded that 25(OH) D can be considered as a biomarker for predictingIVF success.

Evaluation of a Novel Approach for the Diagnosis of BMD Using CBIR and IOT
TL;DR: The main objective of this paper is to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) from X-ray images and thereby, evaluate the corresponding patient mail id using CBIR technique, which can reduce cost; reduce the time for detecting the patient status.
Covariance based BSS Algorithm for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data Source Separation
TL;DR: Comparision results shows that the proposed differential covariance based blind source separation technique is better in terms of time and quality of extracted sources and time courses.

Changes in Trabecular Pattern of the Upper End of the Femur as an Index of Osteoporosis
TL;DR: Roentgenograms of the hip region, in a series of thirty-five patients above the age of fifty years, were studied with particular reference to the trabecular pattern of the upper end of the femur, suggesting that these patterns can be utilized as a roentgenographic scale for the diagnosis and grading of osteoporosis.

TL;DR: The peak bone mass of the population can be increased significantly by appropriate and timely intervention in children, and the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is a major factor in the low BMD and poor bone health of Indians.
