Validating Osteoporosis Detection in Rho AI Software

Osteoporosis is underrecognized and undertreated in the orthopedic surgery patient population. Osteoporosis is diagnosed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry which is costly and imparts radiation. Preoperative radiographs are universally obtained in orthopedic surgery patients, however up to this point radiographs have not been able to diagnose osteoporosis. This software program is a new technology that is able to leverage radiographs to opportunistically screen for osteoporosis. The study team will identify applicable patient records from medical record review, and Radius will de-identify the x-ray images. The de-identified images will be run through the Rho AI program to identify osteoporosis or osteopenia, and a report will be generated to summarize the program's findings.
