aceClinical justification for osteoporosis investigation: transitioning from opportunistic to diagnostic referrals from alternative forms of imaging
Clinical justification remains fundamental to the safe use of imaging involving ionising radiation, requiring a favourable balance between diagnostic benefit and stochastic risk. Concurrently, advances in imaging technology and artificial intelligence have enabled opportunistic identification of additional pathologies beyond the primary indication for imaging. This opinion article discusses how emerging opportunistic osteoporosis detection technologies may eventually transition into clinically justified diagnost…
Advances in AI have enabled opportunistic identification of osteoporosis and other pathologies on imaging performed for other indications.
The transition from opportunistic finding to justified diagnostic referral is presented as a future possibility rather than an observed, implemented pathway.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0589 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
