ABSTRACT Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are a risk factor for morbidity and mortality, frequently asymptomatic and often present in computed tomography (CT) scans performed for unrelated conditions. Computer‐aided diagnosis (CAD) of VCF from such images can potentially improve i...
