Without considering inter-scanner differences

Prediction of the FE models based on different thresholds for each institute (institute 1: 7.5 × body weight (BW), institute 2: 6.5 × BW, institute 3: 8.0 × BW)

F, fracture group; NF, non-fracture group; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value
