Patients with lumbar degenerative disease typically undergo preoperative MRI combined with CT scans, but this approach introduces additional ionizing radiation and examination costs. To compare the effectiveness of MRI-based synthetic CT (sCT) in dis...
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: Sedentary lifestyles can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, but proper sitting posture, particularly maintaining a slight anterior pelvic tilt, helps prevent issues like lower back pain and spinal misalignment. Samsung Electronics wearabl...

BACKGROUND: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion is performed to fuse pathological spinal segments, generally, with a monobloc cage inserted by impact forces. Recently developed three-part modular cages attempt to reduce the impact forces, minimize the d...
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this article is to assess the potential of imaging, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to significantly improve spine care, preoperative planning and surgery.
BACKGROUND: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of automatic imaging report labeling faces the challenge of manually labeling large datasets.
OBJECTIVE: To develop and compare machine-learning algorithms to predict recovery of ambulation after decompressive surgery for acute intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE).
BACKGROUND: Low-dose chest CT (LDCT) is commonly employed for the early screening of lung cancer. However, it has rarely been utilized in the assessment of volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and the diagnosis of osteoporosis (OP).
