sex [31]. A trabecular bone score (TBS) is a tool which adds to predicting risk of fracture in per­sons who are in the osteopenia or normal range [32, 33]. Furthermore, this tool may be used to adjust FRAX (fracture risk assessment tool) prob­abilities of fracture [33]. Literature reports that novel application of articial intelligence (AI)

diagnosis of osteoporosis [34]. Chapter 25 pres­ents a discussion of AI and ML in imaging.
Concurrent screening for osteoporosis and Usually opportunistic has negative connotations [24] (e.g., unprincipled, exploitation). In 1995, opportunistic screening was described as offering a test for an unsuspected pathology which is not related to the reason for the examination [25]. In radiology, opportunistic screening, according to Pickhardt [24], is the practice of maximum use of imaging data, unrelated to the clinical indication, for risk proling and prevention of relevant disease. According to Boutin and Lenchik [26], the use of opportunistic screening for osteoporosis and sarco­penia at CT is a value-added benet for patients. Opportunistic screening at screening CTC benets men and women if an early diagnosis of osteoporo­sis is made [2628]. Men and women who present for screening CTC would benet if an early diag­nosis of osteoporosis is made. Osteoporosis is a silent disease and pathological fractures impact on health services and the mortality of the elderly [29]. Literature reports that testing and treatment rates in men are low despite them having high prevalence of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and fractures; morbid­ity and mortality are signicant in men with osteo­porotic hip fractures [30].
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA) is the most used modality to determine BMD.Two scores (i.e., T-score and Z-score) are usually presented. Both are used for women and men. A T-score indicates a comparison of the BMD of healthy 30year old: 1.0=normal, 1.0 to 2.5=osteopenia, and ≥−2.5=osteoporosis; and a Z-score compares amount of bone present with that of others in the same age group, size and
CRC at CTC adds to service delivery to patients. By using the region of interest (ROI) to measure trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) of L1 of 2D CT scans does not increase radiation dose to a patient [24, 28]; if there is a compressed fracture of LI the Hounseld unit (HU) of L2 is measured. It is recommended that the HU mea­surements are included in CTC reports (see Table 21.2 in Chap. 21).
The use of ROI to measure BMD provides information to identify fracture risk of patients who undergo screening CTC for CRC [35]. This means that more patients can be assessed for osteoporosis. This is important as there has been underutilisation of preventive osteoporosis strate­gies [30]. CTC is a cost-effective study for screening of CRC [36]; hence, there are no addi­tional costs in opportunistic screening. Table18.3 shows Hounseld unit (HU) range for BMD.
The ROI must only include the trabecular bone of a vertebra to obtain an accurate HU reading. Figure18.5a (i, ii) shows incorrect ROI placement. It is important that ROI placement is correct to obtain the HU values of trabecular bone. Correct ROI placement is illustrated in Fig.18.5b (i, ii). Figure18.5c (i) shows osteoporosis at CTC on a female patient and Fig.18.5c (ii) shows osteoporo­sis in a male patient. As evident in Fig.18.5d, the HU value is <100 indicating osteoporosis.

18.7 Calcic Score: Abdominal Aortic Calcication
A recent prospective study over 14years of bone mineral density screening and monitoring of elderly women focussed on abdominal aortic calcication (AAC) on lateral spine DXA scans [37]. The study measured the amount of calcium present in the wall of the aorta and scored the amount of calcium pres­ent as: low, moderate, and extensive. The ndings were that those patients with moderate and exten­sive calcication had a higher incidence of demen-

tia and hospitalisation compared to those with a low score [37]. This shows that extra-coronary vascular calcication in patients may be a marker for late-life dementia. The study only included lateral spine DXA scans. In terms of ECFs, the abdominal aorta is one of the sites where calcication is seen at CTC: AAC is common in both men and women. Late-life dementia (>80years of age) may be related to vascular or nonvascular causes and is a major global health issue. Figure18.6a–d shows normal abdominal aorta and abdominal aortic calcication at CTC.

18.8 Inguinal Hernias asExtracolonic Findings: AnOverview, Types ofHernia, Complications, andRepair
Inguinal hernias are commonly present in males and rare in females. They often remain undiagnosed as many patients do not complain of symptoms or swelling in the groin region. Hernias at CTC are reported as ECFs. Abdominal herniation may be dened as the protrusion of part of its content from the abdominal cavity through a normal or abnormal aperture or from wall weakness [38]. Hernias may be reducible (i.e., can be safely pushed back into the abdominal cavity) or irreducible. The latter may then result in vascular compromise and possible ischaemia and ultimately gangrene [39]. A hernia may cause obstruction resulting in failure of intesti­nal content to pass through the obstructed area [39].
18.8.1 Types ofHernias
Hernias may be congenital or acquired. A congeni­tal malformation occurs in new-borns whilst in adults a hernia is due to stress on the abdominal wall, or a weakness in the elderly [40]. Indirect inguinal hernias are the most common and pro­trude through the patent internal (deep) inguinal ring lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels. In men, the hernia may extend together with the sper­matic cord into the scrotum. In women, the hernia may follow the course of the round ligament into the labia majora [41]. The peritoneal sac containing bowel loops may protrude through the inguinal canal and emerge at the external inguinal ring. Direct inguinal hernias behave differently: they extend through an acquired weakness in the poste­rior wall of the canal, known as the Hesselbach tri­angle, and pass medially to the inferior epigastric vessels. A femoral hernia on the other hand passes through the femoral canal, which is medial to the femoral vein and below the inguinal canal and lat­eral to the pelvic tubercle. Women have a wider bony pelvis compared to men thus femoral hernias are more common in women. Figure18.7a (i, ii) shows a femoral hernia in a female. Figure18.7b (i)–(vi) depicts small bowel bilateral inguinal her­nia (E4 classication). Figure18.7c (i, ii) shows a large bowel inguinal hernia (E4 classication).
18.8.2 Tips toDetermine Whether Small or Large Bowel Is Trapped inanInguinal Hernia
• If valvulae conniventes are seen within the
trapped bowel, the diagnosis is small bowel as shown in Fig.18.7d. If haustral markings are observed, then it is large bowel.
• The most accurate way of deciding whether it
is small or large bowel is by looking at the colon-map, initially with small bowel included and then removing the small bowel which is usually an automatic process.
• If the contour of the large bowel remains intact,
then no large bowel has herniated and the con­tent is small bowel as shown in Fig.18.7e (i, ii).
• When large bowel herniates, it is usually sig-
moid colon. A colon-map will show displace­ment of sigmoid colon inferiorly, making it a left-sided hernia entering the scrotum in the male (Fig.18.7e (iii)) and possibly in the labia of the female.
• Colon hernias are usually left-sided.
18.8.3 Frequency ofInguinal Hernias
Inguinal hernias are 20 times more common in men than women [42, 43]. Dabbas et al. [44] underscore that inguinal hernia repair was carried out almost 15 times more in men than women. They state that there has been a reduction in ingui­nal hernias over time accompanied by an increase in the proportion of midline abdominal wall her­nia repairs. Inguinal hernias are a more common cause of groin pain, and their repair is the com­monest one for hernias. Dabbas etal. [44] report that 96.8% of repair cases were in men and 3.2% in women. Figure 18.7f (i) is an ECF of small bowel in a right inguinal hernia and Fig.18.7f (ii) is an ECF of bilateral inguinal hernias.
18.8.4 Complications
Complications of abdominal wall hernias include obstruction, incarceration and strangulation, and clinically include abdominal pain, vomiting, and distension. Adhesions are the leading cause of bowel obstruction, followed by abdominal her-
