3D Analysis of the Proximal Femur Compared to 2D Analysis for Hip Fracture Risk Prediction in a Clinical Population

Due to the adverse impacts of hip fractures on patients’ lives, it is crucial to enhance the identification of people at high risk through accessible clinical techniques. Reconstructing the 3D geometry and BMD distribution of the proximal femur could be beneficial in enhancing hip fracture risk predictions; however, it is associated with a high computational burden. It is also not clear whether it provides a better performance than 2D model …
