Figure 7

True negative (CTRA-/Fx-) (Case 6, R femur). (a) This is a 79-year-old male with a 12-year history of multiple myeloma demonstrating osteolytic lesions within the right subtrochanteric femur. (b) CTRA and FEA were both run and did not predict fracture for this subject. (c) The patient was followed for several years, and follow-up imaging at four years demonstrates minimal change to the subtrochanteric lesion.
