Enhanced osteoporosis screening via multi-output deep learning: Segmentation and classification of metacarpal radiographs

Osteoporosis screening from radiographic images has traditionally relied on isolated methods that fail to capture the complex interplay between structural segmentation and diagnostic classification. This paper introduce OMO-Net, a novel multi-output deep learning architecture that simultaneously performs segmentation and classification on metacarpal radiographs to accurately detect osteoporosis. Unlike conventional approaches, OMO-Net integrates a ResNet-50–based feature extractor with dedicated…
