BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) is the most common spinal degenerative disorder in elderly people and usually first seen by primary care physicians or orthopedic surgeons who are not spine surgery specialists. Magnetic resonan...
BACKGROUND: We compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) turbo spin-echo images reconstructed using a deep learning technique (TSE-DL) with standard turbo spin-echo (TSE-SD) images of the lumbar spine regarding image quality and detection performance...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate natural language processing-driven artificial intelligence (AI) models for the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with L5 and S1 radiculopathy using electronic health records (EHRs).

Large labeled data bring significant performance improvement, but acquiring labeled medical data is particularly challenging due to the laborious, time-consuming, and medically qualified annotation. Semi-supervised learning has been employed to lever...
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) of the thoracolumbar spine are commonly caused by osteoporosis or result from traumatic events. Early diagnosis of vertebral compression fractures can prevent further damage to patients. When assessing these fra...
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of super-resolution deep-learning-based reconstruction (SR-DLR), which leverages k-space data, on the image quality of lumbar spine magnetic resonance (MR) bone imaging using a 3D multi-echo in-...
Intervertebral disc disease, a prevalent ailment, frequently leads to intermittent or persistent low back pain, and diagnosing and assessing of this disease rely on accurate measurement of vertebral bone and intervertebral disc geometries from lumbar...
