PURPOSE: Postoperative complication prediction helps surgeons to inform and manage patient expectations. Deep learning, a model that finds patterns in large samples of data, outperform traditional statistical methods in making predictions. This study...
BACKGROUND: C1 lateral mass fractures (LMF) cause abnormal alignment of the upper cervical joints. Conservatively treated cases can develop into late cock-robin junction, requiring a reconstructive surgical procedure of the occipitocervical junction....
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 invest...
There is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for unstable hangman's fractures. Conservative treatment, although time-consuming and associated with complications such as nonunion, neck stiffness, and pseudarthrosis formation, is still preferr...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to automatically and accurately determine the stage of cervical vertebra maturation (CVM) with the main purpose being to eliminate the human error factor.
OBJECTIVE: To compare standard-of-care two-dimensional MRI acquisitions of the cervical spine with those from a single three-dimensional MRI acquisition, reconstructed using a deep-learning-based reconstruction algorithm. We hypothesized that the imp...
