Abstract
BACKGROUND: The analysis of sagittal intervertebral rotational motion (SIRM) can provide important information for the evaluation of cervical diseases. Deep learning has been widely used in spinal parameter measurements, however, there are few investigations on spinal motion analysis. The purpose of this study is to develop a deep learning-based model for fully automated measurement of SIRM based on flexion-neutral-extension cervical lateral radiographs and to evaluate its applicability for the flexion-extension (F/E), flexion-neutral (F/N), and neutral-extension (N/E) motion analysis.
