Congratulations to Epic President, Sumit Rana on nearly 30 years of leadership and contributions to healthcare, including our shared work to help save lives by flagging incidental radiology findings.

Best wishes from all of us at BDI! @HeyEpic

@bdi_ai has another breakthrough on BMD assessment from cardiac CT and changes with therapy.

New publication on the growing role of imaging in cardiovascular risk assessment. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is helping improve early detection and prevention of atherosclerosis. Great to see the continued leadership of @BudoffMd

BDI will present its new study on the impact of diabetes on fracture risk & thoracic bone mineral density from the MESA cohort at the World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes & CVD on Dec 5, 2025. Insights led by Matthew Budoff, MD. Excited to share at #WCIRDC25!

🩺 One scan, double the prevention. NIH-funded study: BDI screening of existing CT scans can detect undiagnosed osteoporosis & hidden cardiovascular disease risk—helping prevent fractures, heart attacks & strokes without extra scans.

🦴 New study from BDI & Johns Hopkins shows CT imaging may better assess fracture risk in people with diabetes than standard DEXA scans. DEXA may not fully capture the elevated risk in this group.

📢 A recent Radiology study shows a 3D AI algorithm developed by @JohnsHopkins and BDI accurately detects vertebral fractures and predicts future fracture risk from routine noncontrast chest CTs. AUC 0.82 vs 0.66 (FRAX alone). No extra scans needed.

ACR-MGH-NYU study in JACR recommends using existing CT scans to screen for osteoporosis—more accurate than DXA & could save Medicare $2.5B+/year. UCLA Prof & BDI CMO Dr. Budoff says impact may be even greater. More: https://t.co/fMgkQzpTk6

Interesting paper on BMD and mitral annular calcification out now. So great that we can get osteoporosis measures from CT scans seemlessly now @bdi_ai https://t.co/mkztfImQ1w

[BDI @bdi_ai]

Excited to present our poster "Elevated CAC Is Associated With Decreased Thoracic Spine BMD: The Multi-ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis" at #SCCT2024! 📊📷 See us at poster 405 in Washington DC this Saturday from 9:40 am to 10:45 am. @Heart_SCCT #Cardiology #BoneHealth

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

Found out our abstract will be presented @Heart_SCCT in July - Elevated Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CAC) Is Associated With Decreased Thoracic Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD): The Multi-ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis - @bdi_ai

[BDI @bdi_ai]

Exciting News! NIH-funded study reveals groundbreaking findings on osteoporosis screening! Our bone density test, using existing CT scans, accurately predicts fractures, revolutionizing prevention. Read the full release: https://t.co/a0ZxOskK5W #Osteoporosis #Prevention

NIH funded study shows bone density derived by @BDI_ai from existing CT scans predicts vertebral and hip fractures https://t.co/ATjtcheqDa
BDI https://t.co/dFxebQdPDQ is now in its 16th year providing bone density measure and fracture risk assessment reimbursed widely by insurers

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

This finding no doubt carries over to other screening tests. This highlights the need and health system support for 'opportunistic' (i.e., incidental) findings in the patient's existing medical images (ie- coronary artery calcium and bone density @bdi_ai)

Today, we stand strong for #WorldOsteoporosisDay! 💪 Join us in raising awareness about bone health and prevention. Visit our website at https://t.co/JTpoNfM2Fw to learn how technology is advancing bone density analysis and supporting healthier lives. #BoneHealth #StrongBones

Osteoporosis doesn't discriminate by age or gender. It's a myth that affects many lives. Let's raise awareness this #WorldOsteoporosisDay and shatter misconceptions. #OsteoporosisAwareness #bonehealth #BDICommunity

[Royal Osteoporosis Society @RoyalOsteoSoc]

How old were you when you were diagnosed with osteoporosis?

Many people think osteoporosis only affects older women - this #WorldOsteoporosis we're looking to bust that myth and others.

New weight loss therapies like GLP1-RA can impact bone health. Consider QCT scans with CTs of chest, CAC, or abdomen to monitor bone health without extra scans. #WeightLoss #BoneHealth #BDIcommunity

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

As we use more robust weight loss therapies (GLP1-RA and dual agonists), remember that weight loss comes with bone loss. https://t.co/6DiICTJUE1

if they get a CT of chest, CAC or abdomen, add a bone density (QCT) to ensure we are tracking bone health at no incremental scanning.

🦴 Free Osteoporosis Screenings Alert! 🦴

On #WorldOsteoporosisDay, October 20, 2023, BDI offers FREE osteoporosis screenings alongside qualifying CT scans. Simply have your doctor reach out to us to initiate the process. Prioritize your #bonehealth! #OsteoporosisScreening

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

An excellent op-Ed, outlining a lot of what i believe is the true power of CT images, especially CAC scans, things like bone density @bdi_ai https://t.co/MzBIrp54lB

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

Another reminder that we can derive so much from a simple CAC scan, been my research goals for decades - bone, liver, valves, aorta, etc..

@bdi_ai

[Matthew Budoff MD @BudoffMd]

Important to remember that as we get better at weight loss, bone health needs to be watched. We can 'keep an eye' on the bone with each CAC, CTA and lung CT scan using @bdi_ai
