LUMOS: A Lumbar Multimodal Osteoporosis Screening Dataset with X-ray and CT images

摘要

Osteoporosis has emerged as a significant global public health challenge, affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. Precise screening through bone mineral density (BMD) assessment is essential for timely intervention. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) serves as the gold standard for BMD evaluation, its widespread application is hampered by high costs and limited accessibility. In recent years, deep learning has demonstrated great potential in osteoporosis classification and predicting BMD from X-ray and CT scans. However, existing public datasets have notable limitations, particularly the absence of paired multimodal imaging datasets for cross-modal modeling and the lack of accurate BMD annotations required for osteoporosis-specific research and clinical model optimization. To address these issues, we introduce the Lumbar Multimodal Osteoporosis Screening dataset (LUMOS), the first multimodal dataset specifically designed for lumbar osteoporosis screening. LUMOS integrates clinical data from 803 patients, including 1,620 anteroposterior/lateral lumbar X-rays with BMD values and T-scores, comprehensive demographic information, and 280 lumbar CT scans. The advent of LUMOS is expected to propel forward research on automated osteoporosis classification, BMD prediction, and other related tasks. Its standardized and multimodal nature fills critical gaps in lumbar osteoporosis data, providing high-quality data support for the development and validation of medical AI algorithms in the early detection of osteoporosis.
