Abstract
The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, a device, and a computer program product for radiographic bone mineral density (BMD) estimation. The method includes receiving a plain radiograph, detecting landmarks for a bone structure included in the plain radiograph, extracting an ROI from the plain radiograph based on the detected landmarks, estimating the BMD for the ROI extracted from the plain radiograph by using a deep neural network.
