Orex Computed Radiography of Yoqneam, Israel has inked a deal to license bone-density measurement software from CompuMed of Los Angeles. Orex will license the DICOM version of CompuMed’s Osteogram software, which uses computer-aided detection technology to enable healthcare providers to screen, diagnose, and monitor osteoporosis using either film-based or digital hand x-rays.
CompuMed developed the DICOM version of OsteoGram to work with digital x-ray systems like those from Orex. The companies will collaborate on an accelerated clinical trial to validate OsteoGram on Orex's Distributed Computed Radiography (D-CR) system. After the trial, OsteoGram will serve as the bone densitometry CAD component of Orex’s CR product line.

![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard. AM = age-matched, DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, RM2 = room 2, SNUH = Seoul National University Hospital, YA = young adult.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ai-children-bone-density.0snnf2EJjr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
