    The BONE-Net AI model achieved 86% accuracy and 95% specificity in detecting osteoporosis from knee radiographs.

  • 2

    BONE-Net combines a convolutional neural network, a transformer-based network, and a custom attention module for enhanced analysis.

  • 3

    The model was trained on a dataset of 372 knee radiographs, achieving high performance on an independent test set.

  • 4

    BONE-Net outperformed other deep-learning models, showing superior accuracy, specificity, and lower false-positive rates.

  • 5

    Future research should include larger datasets and multi-modal data to improve osteoporosis risk assessment beyond knee analysis.
