Robotic assistance technologies are being incorporated into minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and operating staff. However, they introduce new issues including increased...
Abnormalities and defects that can cause lumbar spinal stenosis often occur in the Intervertebral Disc (IVD) of the patient's lumbar spine. Their automatic detection and classification require an application of an image analysis algorithm on suitable...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted pedicle screw placement is usually performed under general anesthesia to keep the body still. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of the robot-assisted technique under regional anesthesia with that of conventi...

Osteoporosis is a common, but silent disease until it is complicated by fractures that are associated with morbidity and mortality. Over the past few years, although deep learning-based disease diagnosis on chest radiographs has yielded promising res...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The use of natural language processing (NLP) in radiology provides an opportunity to assist clinicians with phenotyping patients. However, the performance and generalizability of NLP across healthcare systems is uncertain. W...
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning-based model for measuring automatic lumbosacral anatomical parameters from lateral lumbar radiographs and compare its performance to that of attending-level radiologists.
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography for neuraxial anesthesia is increasingly being used to identify spinal structures and the identification of correct point of needle insertion to improve procedural success, in particular in obesity. We developed an ultraso...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and GSI-energy spectrum electronic computed tomography (CT) medical imaging based on the deep convolutional neural network (CNN) in the treatment of lumbar degenerat...
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is underutilized to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and evaluate fracture risk. We present an automated tool to identify fractures, predict BMD, and evaluate fracture risk using plain radiographs. The tool pe...
