An Australian artificial-intelligence (AI) tool outperforms radiologists in flagging fractures on imaging and might help get more patients at risk for osteoporosis on appropriate therapy sooner.

The X-Ray Artificial Intelligence Tool (XRAIT), tested by researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, was featured at the Endocrine Society’s ENDO 2020 virtual press conference on 30 March.
