Chest CT‐based automated vertebral fracture assessment using artificial intelligence and morphologic features

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Spinal degeneration and vertebral compression fractures are common among the elderly that adversely affect their mobility, quality of life, lung function, and mortality. Assessment of vertebral fractures in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is important due to the high prevalence of osteoporosis and associated vertebral fractures in COPD.
