Use of Artificial Intelligence in Cobb Angle Measurement for Scoliosis: Retrospective Reliability and Accuracy Study of a Mobile App.

Journal: Journal of medical Internet research
PMID: 39486021

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Scoliosis is a spinal deformity in which one or more spinal segments bend to the side or show vertebral rotation. Some artificial intelligence (AI) apps have already been developed for measuring the Cobb angle in patients with scoliosis. These apps still require doctors to perform certain measurements, which can lead to interobserver variability. The AI app (cobbAngle pro) in this study will eliminate the need for doctor measurements, achieving complete automation.
