Automated Fast Prediction of Bone Mineral Density From Low-dose Computed Tomography.

Academic radiology
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).

AI-Generated Synthetic STIR of the Lumbar Spine from T1 and T2 MRI Sequences Trained with Open-Source Algorithms.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Lumbar spine MRIs can be time consuming, stressful for patients, and costly to acquire. In this work, we train and evaluate open-source generative adversarial network (GAN) to create synthetic lumbar spine MRI STIR volumes fro...

Deep Learning for Lumbar Disc Herniation Diagnosis and Treatment Decision-Making Using Magnetic Resonance Imagings: A Retrospective Study.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common cause of back and leg pain. Diagnosis relies on clinical history, physical exam, and imaging, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being an important reference standard. While artificial intellige...

Prevention and management of degenerative lumbar spine disorders through artificial intelligence-based decision support systems: a systematic review.

BMC musculoskeletal disorders
BACKGROUND: Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide with a significant socioeconomic burden; artificial intelligence (AI) has proved to have a great potential in supporting clinical decisions at each stage of the healthcare process...

WDRIV-Net: a weighted ensemble transfer learning to improve automatic type stratification of lumbar intervertebral disc bulge, prolapse, and herniation.

Biomedical engineering online
The degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine is the common cause of neurological and physical dysfunctions and chronic disability of patients, which can be stratified into single-(e.g., disc herniation, prolapse, or bulge) and com...

Development of an artificial intelligence-based application for the diagnosis of sarcopenia: a retrospective cohort study using the health examination dataset.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Medical imaging techniques for diagnosing sarcopenia have been extensively investigated. Studies have proposed using the T-score and patient information as key diagnostic factors. However, these techniques have either been time-consuming ...

Artificial intelligence for segmentation and classification in lumbar spinal stenosis: an overview of current methods.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
PURPOSE: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a frequently occurring condition defined by narrowing of the spinal or nerve root canal due to degenerative changes. Physicians use MRI scans to determine the severity of stenosis, occasionally complementing i...

A deep learning pipeline for systematic and accurate vertebral fracture reporting in computed tomography.

Clinical radiology
AIM: Spine fractures are a frequent and relevant diagnosis, but systematic documentation is time-consuming and sometimes overlooked. A deep learning pipeline for opportunistic fracture detection in computed tomography (CT) spine images of varying fie...
