Prognosis of cervical myelopathy based on diffusion tensor imaging with artificial intelligence methods.

NMR in biomedicine
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been proposed for the prognosis of cervical myelopathy (CM), but the manual analysis of DTI features is complicated and time consuming. This study evaluated the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) methods in t...

Machine Learning for the Prediction of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: A Post Hoc Pilot Study of 28 Participants.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) severity and presence of symptoms are often difficult to predict based simply on clinical imaging alone. Similarly, improved machine learning techniques provide new tools with immense clinical potenti...

Prediction of cervical spine injury in young pediatric patients: an optimal trees artificial intelligence approach.

Journal of pediatric surgery
BACKGROUND: Cervical spine injuries (CSI) are a major concern in young pediatric trauma patients. The consequences of missed injuries and difficulties in injury clearance for non-verbal patients have led to a tendency to image young children. Imaging...

Vision-aided brain-machine interface training system for robotic arm control and clinical application on two patients with cervical spinal cord injury.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: While spontaneous robotic arm control using motor imagery has been reported, most previous successful cases have used invasive approaches with advantages in spatial resolution. However, still many researchers continue to investigate metho...

Machine learning for prediction of sustained opioid prescription after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The severity of the opioid epidemic has increased scrutiny of opioid prescribing practices. Spine surgery is a high-risk episode for sustained postoperative opioid prescription.

Fully automatic cervical vertebrae segmentation framework for X-ray images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
The cervical spine is a highly flexible anatomy and therefore vulnerable to injuries. Unfortunately, a large number of injuries in lateral cervical X-ray images remain undiagnosed due to human errors. Computer-aided injury detection has the potential...

Risk factors for predicting increased surgical drain output in patients after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
BACKGROUND: Although measures to reduce and treat the postoperative surgical drain output are discussed, along with the increased interest in causative factors related to the prevention and treatment reported by many studies, these are still controve...

Finding discriminative and interpretable patterns in sequences of surgical activities.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Surgery is one of the riskiest and most important medical acts that is performed today. Understanding the ways in which surgeries are similar or different from each other is of major interest to understand and analyze surgical behaviors. T...

Automatic matching of surgeries to predict surgeons' next actions.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: More than half a million surgeries are performed every day worldwide, which makes surgery one of the most important component of global health care. In this context, the objective of this paper is to introduce a new method for the predicti...
