A nuclear bone scan is an imaging technique that uses radioactive substances to create three-dimensional (3D) images of the bones. Doctors use bone scans to diagnose and monitor bone diseases, such as ...

Researchers have used machine learning to assess bone density scans for calcification in the aorta, the body’s main artery. They say their method could be used to predict future cardiovascular and ...

Vascular calcification, low bone mass and fragility fractures are all frequent age-dependent disorders. Recent clinical and experimental data suggest that vascular calcification and bone loss could ...

Routine bone density scans already performed on Australians to identify their risk of fractures could now also be used as an early warning for heart attack or stroke. Researchers from Edith Cowan ...

Researchers can now assess a person’s risk of developing late-life dementia using data from a common type of bone density scan. The long-term study revealed calcification within the abdominal aorta ...
