BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The most common adverse event following spine stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is vertebral compression fracture (VCF). There is interest in the development of patient-specific tools that can predict those at high risk of...
BACKGROUND: Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are prevalent in the elderly, often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. Differentiating acute from chronic VCFs is vital for treatment planning, but MRI, the gold standard, is inaccessible for some. Ho...

PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning system for automatic segmentation of compression fracture vertebral bodies on thoracolumbar CT and differentiate between fresh and old fractures.
With the increasing prevalence of vertebral fractures, accurate diagnosis and prognostication are essential. This study assesses the effectiveness of AI in diagnosing and predicting vertebral fractures through a systematic review and meta-analysis. A...

BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) has been widely applied to predict the outcomes of numerous diseases. The current study aimed to develop a prognostic prediction model using machine learning algorithms and identify risk factors associated with resid...
Magnetic resonance imaging remains the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF), but the use of X-ray imaging, particularly anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views, is prevalent due to its accessibility and cost...
In recent years, deep learning has become a popular tool to analyze and classify medical images. However, challenges such as limited data availability, high labeling costs, and privacy concerns remain significant obstacles. As such, generative models...
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are the most common type of osteoporotic fractures, yet they are often clinically silent and undiagnosed. Chest frontal radiographs (CFRs) are frequently used in clinical practice and a portion of VCFs can be de...
