Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) detection using artificial neural networks model based on the AO spine-DGOU osteoporotic fracture classification system

Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture (OVCF) substantially reduces a person's health-related quality of life. Computer Tomography (CT) scan is currently the standard for diagnosis of OVCF. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the OVCF detection potential of artificial neural networks (ANN).
