BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Quantitative imaging biomarkers have not been established for the diagnosis of spinal canal stenosis. This work aimed to lay the groundwork to establish such biomarkers by leveraging the developments in machine learning and me...
Multiple registries are currently collecting patient-specific data on lumbar spondylolisthesis including outcomes data. The collection of imaging diagnostics data along with comparative outcomes data following decompression versus decompression and f...
The aim of this research is to automatically detect lumbar vertebras in MRI images with bounding boxes and their classes, which can assist clinicians with diagnoses based on large amounts of MRI slices. Vertebras are highly semblable in appearance, l...
OBJECTIVEPatient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following decompression surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) demonstrate considerable heterogeneity. Individualized prediction tools can provide valuable insights for shared decision-making. The ...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of electroacupuncture (deep needling) and general orthopedics in treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH), and to evaluate its long-term efficacy.
OBJECTIVEIf not anticipated and prearranged, hospital stay can be prolonged while the patient awaits placement in a rehabilitation unit or skilled nursing facility following elective spine surgery. Preoperative prediction of the likelihood of postope...
Pathogenesis-based diagnosis is a key step to prevent and control lumbar neural foraminal stenosis (LNFS). It conducts both early diagnosis and comprehensive assessment by drawing crucial pathological links between pathogenic factors and LNFS. Automa...
PURPOSE: We prospectively assessed the early radiographic and clinical outcomes (minimum follow-up of 2 years) of robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation (Robot-PSF) and conventional freehand pedicle screw fixation (Conv-PSF).
Electronic medical record (EMR) systems provide easy access to radiology reports and offer great potential to support quality improvement efforts and clinical research. Harnessing the full potential of the EMR requires scalable approaches such as nat...
