AI to find spine fractures on CT scans
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence program can find broken bones in the spine (vertebral fractures) by looking at CT scans of the chest or abdomen. The goal is to see if AI can help doctors spot these fractures more easily, which could lead to earlier treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man.
- You must be 50 years old or older.
- You must have a CT scan of your abdomen or chest that your doctor can review.
- You cannot be currently in the hospital.
- You cannot have a known bone or metabolic disease (like osteoporosis).
- You cannot have a weakened immune system, severe illness (like advanced cancer or kidney failure), or be on treatments that suppress your immune system.

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can help identify people at risk for weak bones (osteoporosis) using chest X-rays. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to either standard screening or AI-enhanced screening to see which approach works better.
This trial uses scans like X-rays, CT, or MRI to study how bones and joints age. It aims to understand aging-related problems and may help develop better ways to detect or treat them.
This trial is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) model that uses X-ray images to predict bone density. If you have X-rays and a bone density scan, the AI may help doctors screen for osteoporosis without extra tests.
This trial tests a computer program that helps emergency doctors find broken bones on X-rays faster. If you are an adult with a recent injury and need an X-ray of an arm, leg, or pelvis, you may help see if this AI tool improves care.
This study uses artificial intelligence to estimate bone age from standard abdominal CT scans. It may help researchers understand how bone age relates to health conditions without extra X-rays.
This study tests new artificial intelligence software designed to improve CT scan quality in patients who have had spine surgery with metal screws. The AI aims to reduce blurry or distorted areas caused by the metal, making it easier for doctors to see and evaluate the spine.
