PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop machine learning methods to estimate bone mineral density and detect osteopenia/osteoporosis from conventional lumbar MRI (T1-weighted and T2-weighted images) and planar radiography in combination with clinical da...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and externally validate a binary classification model for lumbar vertebral body fractures based on CT images using deep learning methods.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, deep learning (DL) technology has been increasingly used for the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. This study aims to evaluate the performance of DL technology for IVD segmentation ...
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common clinical spinal disorder, yet its etiology remains unclear. We aimed to explore the role of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) and identify potential diagnostic biomarkers. Our analysis involved interrogating th...
OBJECTIVES: The assessment of lumbar central canal stenosis (LCCS) is crucial for diagnosing and planning treatment for patients with low back pain and neurogenic pain. However, manual assessment methods are time-consuming, variable, and require axia...

This study aimed to develop a graph neural network (GNN) for automated three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualization and Pfirrmann grading of intervertebral discs (IVDs), and benchmark it against manual classifications. Lumbar...
UNLABELLED: Automated screening for vertebral fractures could improve outcomes. We achieved an AUC-ROC = 0.968 for the prediction of moderate to severe fracture using a GAM with age and three maximal vertebral body scores of fracture from a convoluti...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a deep learning algorithm for diagnosing lumbar central canal stenosis (LCCS) using abdominal CT (ACT) and lumbar spine CT (LCT).
