may be involved in radiographic damage in patients with AS.41 Thus, inflammation plays a key role in bone loss in AS, and a beneficial effect of anti-inflammatory drugs on bone is expected, not only ...

The condition begins with the accumulation of dental plaque, which initiates an immune response. Current radiographic methods for assessing alveolar bone loss are subjective, time-consuming, and labor ...

levothyroxine use appears to be associated with greater bone loss in older adults," said Shadpour Demehri, M.D., co-senior author and professor of radiology at Johns Hopkins. Jennifer Mammen ...

However, simple radiographs can only detect bone tissue loss when there is more than 30% depletion of bone mineral content. Bone mineral density (BMD), measured by the ratio of bone mass to area, is ...

The Metabolic Bone Disease Fellowship program within the combined orthopaedic, medical and radiology bone consortium represents ... and prevention of bone loss and low energy fracture. Through ...

Hand radiographs were scored for the presence of erosions. Periarticular BMD was measured at 10 predetermined ROIs using a Hologic QDA-4500A fan-beam densitometer. Conclusions: In early disease, ...

Peripheral skeleton (wrist and heel): DXA, QCT, single-energy x-ray absorptiometry, radiographic absorptiometry ... there are many contributors to bone strength apart from BMD (see next section).

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious disease resulting in pain, loss of function and reduced quality of life ... T-score replaced imprecise and insensitive measures based on radiographic bone assessment ...

Methods: We analyzed 2,000 panoramic radiographs using image processing techniques. The YOLOv8 model segmented teeth, identified the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), and quantified alveolar bone loss to ...
