Fully automated opportunistic screening of vertebral fractures and osteoporosis on more than 150 000 routine computed tomography scans

Résumé

Abstract Objective Osteoporosis is underdiagnosed and undertreated, although severe complications of osteoporotic fractures, including vertebral fractures, are well known. This study sought to assess the feasibility and results of an opportunistic screening of vertebral fractures and osteoporosis in a large database of lumbar or abdominal CT scans. Material and methods Data were analysed from CT scans obtained in 35 hospitals from patients aged 60 years or older and stored in a Picture Archiving and Communication System in Assistance-Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, from 2007 to 2013. Dedicated software was used to analyse the presence or absence of at least 1 vertebral fracture (VF), and the radiodensity of the lumbar vertebrae was measured Hounsfield Units (HUs). A simulated T-score was calculated. Results Data were analysed from 152 268 patients [mean age (S.D.) = 73.2 (9.07) years]. Success rates for VF assessment and HUs measurements were 82 and 87%, respectively. The prevalence of VFs was 24.5% and increased with age. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the detection of VFs were 0.61 and 0.62 for the mean HUs of the lumbar vertebrae and the L1 HUs, respectively. In patients without VFs, HUs decreased with age, similarly in males and females. The prevalence of osteoporosis (sT-score ≤ –2.5) was 23.8% and 36.5% in patients without and with VFs, respectively. Conclusion It is feasible on a large scale to screen for VFs and osteoporosis during opportunistic screening in patients 60 years or older having lumbar or abdominal CT.
