Effectiveness of Implementation of Opportunistic AI-screening for Vertebral Fractures in Clinical Practice
Sponsor: University Hospital, Linkoeping
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness after implementing a medically approved and commercially available AI support system for opportunistic vertebral fracture screening in CT examinations within an adapted fracture care pathway (integrated care process) in clinical routine. Data will be compared to historical data (same period the previous year). The main question it aims to answer is: Does opportunistic AI-supported vertebral fracture screening in CT examinations integrated to a fracture care pathway increase the numbers of diagnosed vertebral fractures compared to usual care? CT scans in the clinical routine care will be opportunistically screened for vertebral fractures by the AI for 4 months. All positive findings will be confirmed by a radiologist and triaged by the FLS (Fracture Liaison Service).
