Neural network-based multi-task learning to assist planning of posterior spinal fusion surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Journal: Spine deformity
Published Date: Jun 24, 2025

Abstract

PURPOSE: Posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion (PSF) is the gold standard for severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), yet instrumentation strategies vary widely, often leading to suboptimal results. Deep learning's potential in AIS planning is underexplored.
