Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Spinal measurements play an integral role in surgical planning for a variety of spine procedures. Full-length imaging eliminates distortions that can occur with stitched images. However, these images take radiologists significantly longer to read than conventional radiographs. Artificial intelligence (AI) image analysis software that can make such measurements quickly and reliably would be advantageous to surgeons, radiologists, and the entire health system.
