Abstract Background The incidence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fragility fractures is increasing due to demographic changes. Therefore, early diagnosis is desirable in order to preserve bone health and prevent low-trauma fractures. Opportunistic screening for osteoporosis by frequently performed computed tomography scans could offer a potential solution. Cranial computed tomography is often performed in potential high-risk patients for osteoporosis due to frequent falls in older ages.
