Abstract

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures. Early detection is crucial for preventing fractures and improving patients’ quality of life. However, traditional methods, such as Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), often struggle to accurately predict fracture risk and may overlook minor changes in bone structure. This study focuses on developing a predictive model for early osteoporosis detection using deep learning algorithms combined with various imaging techniques, including MRI, CT, and High-Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT). A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published between 2014 and 2024 were conducted, examining the use of deep learning models applied to multimodal imaging data. The meta-analysis highlighted differences in the accuracy and effectiveness of various models, and their performance was measured in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, following PRISMA guidelines. The results showed that deep learning models outperformed traditional methods in early osteoporosis detection. The use of multiple imaging techniques provided a more detailed assessment of bone health, allowing the models to identify complex patterns that are difficult for human interpretation. These models demonstrated high accuracy and significant potential for improving clinical decision-making. By integrating deep learning with multimodal imaging, this approach offers a promising solution for enhancing the early detection of osteoporosis. The models tested in this study proved to be highly effective, yielding more accurate fracture risk predictions and enabling earlier interventions. This could lead to better patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
