Abstract
BACKGROUND: Deep learning has been validated as a promising technique for automatic segmentation and rapid three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of lumbosacral structures on CT. Simulated foraminoplasty of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (PETD) through the Kambin triangle may benefit viability assessment of PETD at L5/S1 level.
