OBJECTIVE: To predict the hand-wrist maturation stages based on the cervical vertebrae (CV) images, and to analyse the accuracy of the proposed algorithms.
Muscle fat infiltration (MFI) has been widely reported across cervical spine disorders. The quantification of MFI requires time-consuming and rater-dependent manual segmentation techniques. A convolutional neural network (CNN) model was trained to se...
Cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a contributing factor to spinal cord injury or trauma-induced myelopathy in the elderly. To reduce the incidence of these traumas, it is essential to diagnose OPLL at an early sta...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to predict C5 palsy (C5P) after posterior laminectomy and fusion (PLF) with cervical myelopathy (CM) from routinely available variables using a support vector machine (SVM) method.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evidence of spinal cord compression plays a central role in the diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). There is growing recognition that deep learning models may assist in addressing the increasing volum...
Prognostic models play an important role in the clinical management of cervical radiculopathy (CR). No study has compared the performance of modern machine learning techniques, against more traditional stepwise regression techniques, when developing ...
IMPORTANCE: The loss of the physiologic cervical lordotic curve is a common degenerative disorder known to be associated with abnormal spinal alignment. However, the changing trends among sex and age groups has not yet been well established.
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop five different supervised machine learning (ML) classifier models using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and to compare their performance for cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) analysis. A clinical deci...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We investigated a novel method using a 2D convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify superior and inferior vertebrae in a single slice of CT images, and a post-processing for 3D segmentation and separation of cervical ve...
