Identification of osteoporosis using ensemble deep learning model with panoramic radiographs and clinical covariates

Abstract Osteoporosis is becoming a global health issue due to increased life expectancy.However, it is difficult to detect in its early stages owing to a lack of Tights discernible symptoms.Hence, screening for osteoporosis with widely used dental panoramic radiographs would be very cost-effective and useful.In this study, we investigate the use o
