This study explores the use of radiomic features extracted from preoperative T2-weighted MRI and CT images, combined with machine learning models, to predict the risk of vertebral refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in postmenopausal wome...
BACKGROUND: Vertebral recompression after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) may lead to recurrent pain, deformity, and neurological impairment, compromising prognosis and quality of life.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) in improving image quality of virtual non-hydroxyapatite (VNHAP) and virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs), and radiologists' performance in detecting acute vertebral compressi...
Kyphosis is a prevalent spinal condition where the spine curves in the sagittal plane, resulting in spine deformities. Curvature estimation provides a powerful index to assess the deformation severity of scoliosis. In current clinical diagnosis, the ...

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...
