BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to detect degenerative changes of the lumbar spine. SpineNet (SN), a computer vision-based system, performs an automated analysis of degenerative features in MRI scans aiming to provide high accura...
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is widely recognized as the primary etiological factor underlying low back pain, often necessitating surgical intervention as the sole recourse in severe cases. The metabolic pathway of arachidonic ...
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral Disc Degeneration (IDD) is a major cause of lower back pain and a significant global health issue. However, the specific mechanisms of IDD remain unclear. This study aims to identify key genes and pathways associated with I...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cervical disk arthroplasty (CDA) offers the advantage of motion preservation in the treatment of focal cervical pathology. At present, implant sizing is performed using subjective tactile feedback and imaging of trial cages...

BACKGROUND: 'Mo-fi-disc' is a new scoring system that quantifies degeneration of the lumbar spine and predicts the intensity of low back pain (LBP). However, its association with LBP-related disability is unknown. In the present study, we aimed to an...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate natural language processing-driven artificial intelligence (AI) models for the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with L5 and S1 radiculopathy using electronic health records (EHRs).

BACKGROUND: According to the T1ρ value of nucleus pulposus, our previous study has found that intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can be divided into three phases based on T1ρ-MR, which is helpful for the selection of biomaterial treatment timing....
Intervertebral disc disease, a prevalent ailment, frequently leads to intermittent or persistent low back pain, and diagnosing and assessing of this disease rely on accurate measurement of vertebral bone and intervertebral disc geometries from lumbar...
