BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Accurate and consistent measurement of sagittal alignment is challenging, particularly in patients with severe coronal deformities, including degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).
We aimed to analyze the cervical sagittal alignment change following the growing rod treatment in early-onset scoliosis (EOS) and identify the risk factors of sagittal cervical imbalance after growing-rod surgery of machine learning. EOS patients fro...
Measuring the kyphotic angle (KA) and lordotic angle (LA) on lateral radiographs is important to truly diagnose children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. However, it is a time-consuming process to measure the KA because the endplate of the upper...
BACKGROUND: Measuring spinal alignment with radiological parameters is essential in patients with spinal conditions likely to be treated surgically. These evaluations are not usually included in the radiological report. As a result, spinal surgeons c...
OBJECTIVE: Achieving appropriate spinopelvic alignment has been shown to be associated with improved clinical symptoms. However, measurement of spinopelvic radiographic parameters is time-intensive and interobserver reliability is a concern. Automate...

PURPOSE: An efficient physics-informed deep learning approach for extracting spinopelvic measures from X-ray images is introduced and its performance is evaluated against manual annotations.
INTRODUCTION: Spinal measurements play an integral role in surgical planning for a variety of spine procedures. Full-length imaging eliminates distortions that can occur with stitched images. However, these images take radiologists significantly long...
