Revolutionising osteoporosis screening: advancements in opportunistic screening using wrist radiographs
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterised by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. This condition leads to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk, predominantly affecting the elderly population. It presents a significant clinical challenge due to its often asymptomatic nature, typically until an overt fracture occurs.
