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).
Radiation treatment of cancers like prostate or cervix cancer requires considering nearby bone structures like vertebrae. In this work, we present and validate a novel automated method for the 3D segmentation of individual lumbar and thoracic vertebr...

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) can be challenging because radicular pain is not often present in the culprit-level localization. Accurate segmentation and quantitative analysis of the lumbar dura on radiographic images are ...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a predictive model for osteoporosis and osteopenia prediction by fusing deep transfer learning (DTL) features and classical radiomics features based on single-source dual-energy computed tomography (C...

BACKGROUND: Methods for grading and localization of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) on MRI are complex, time-consuming, and subjective. Utilizing deep learning (DL) models as assistance would mitigate such complexities.
Osteoporosis is a common condition that can lead to fractures, mobility issues, and death. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for osteoporosis, it is expensive and not widely available. In contrast, kidney-ureter-bla...

We aimed to develop and validate a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model capable of accurately identifying spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis on lateral or dynamic X-ray images. A total of 2449 lumbar lateral and dynamic X-ray images were co...
BACKGROUND: Diagnosing early lumbar spondylolisthesis is challenging for many doctors because of the lack of obvious symptoms. Using deep learning (DL) models to improve the accuracy of X-ray diagnoses can effectively reduce missed and misdiagnoses i...
