BACKGROUND: Lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most common surgery-requiring conditions of the spine in the aged population. As elderly patients often present with multiple comorbidities and limited physiological reserve, individualized risk assess...
Due to symptomatic gait imbalance and a high incidence of falls, patients with cervical disease-including degenerative cervical myelopathy-have a significantly increased risk of fragility fractures. To prevent such fractures in patients with cervical...
Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine is a key technique for clarifying the cause of disease. The greatest challenges today are the repetitive and time-consuming process of interpreting these complex MR images and the problem of unequal diag...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We aimed to externally validate machine learning models developed in Norway by evaluating their predictive outcome of disability and pain 12 months after lumbar disc herniation surgery in a Swedish and Danish cohort.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model to detect osteoporosis using radiomic features and machine learning (ML) approaches from lumbar spine computed tomography (CT) images during an abdominal CT examination.
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...

BACKGROUND: Adequate preoperative identification of patients at risk of significant healthcare utilization after surgery could help guide preoperative decision-making as well as postoperative patient management. While several studies have proposed me...
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...
