Clinical Deployment and Validation of Rho

"Software will analyze x-rays of the chest, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, pelvis, knee or hand/wrist acquired for any reason, and notify the radiologist at time of acquisition if low BMD is detected. The report to the radiologist includes the following statements:~* This x-ray was opportunistically analyzed by RhoTM, an investigational device under ITA \[investigational testing authorization\] from Health Canada, to screen for low bone mineral density (low BMD).~* This information should be used by a trained healthcare provider in conjunction with a patient's clinical fracture risk to determine if formal BMD screening with DXA is appropriate.~The radiologist can choose to include this as an incidental finding in their report to the referring physician."
