CONTEXT: The hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is a wearable robot suit that assists in voluntary control of knee and hip joint motion by detecting bioelectric signals on the surface of the skin with high sensitivity. HAL has been reported to be effective ...
Cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a contributing factor to spinal cord injury or trauma-induced myelopathy in the elderly. To reduce the incidence of these traumas, it is essential to diagnose OPLL at an early sta...
BACKGROUND: A high false-negative rate has been reported for the diagnosis of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) using plain radiography. We investigated whether deep learning (DL) can improve the diagnostic performance of rad...
The cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (cOPLL) is sometimes misdiagnosed or overlooked on radiography. Thus, this study aimed to validate the diagnostic yield of our deep learning algorithm which diagnose the presence/absenc...
Ossification of the ligaments progresses slowly in the initial stages, and most patients are unaware of the disease until obvious myelopathy symptoms appear. Consequently, treatment and clinical outcomes are not satisfactory. This study is aimed at d...

PURPOSE: Postoperative complication prediction helps surgeons to inform and manage patient expectations. Deep learning, a model that finds patterns in large samples of data, outperform traditional statistical methods in making predictions. This study...
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop a fully automated, computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning (DL) model to segment ossified lesions of the posterior longitudinal ligament and to measure the thickness of the ossified material and calculate th...
