Osteoporosis Screening with Opportunistic CT Could Double Screening Rates and Avoid up to 2.5 Billion in Medical Costs
 A new multi-institute study demonstrates the potential prevention and economic benefits from the opportunistic use of CT (OCT), defined as screening performed using CT images that were collected for a different purpose. The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, showed that using CT imaging that includes the upper lumbar spine in its field of view to screen for osteoporosis could increase the screening rate in the Medicare fee-for-service population by 113% without requiring any additional imaging. The work was a collaboration among researchers from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute, New York University Langone Health, and Massachusetts General Hospital.
