Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Interspinous motion (ISM) is a representative method for evaluating the functional fusion status following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery, but the associated measuring difficulty and potential errors in the clinical setting remain concerns. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a deep learning-based segmentation model for measuring ISM in patients who underwent ACDF surgery.
