BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of rotator cuff tears is essential for appropriate and timely treatment. Although radiography is the most used technique in clinical practice, it is difficult to accurately rule out rotator cuff tears as an initial imaging...
INTRODUCTION: Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is a challenging and common musculoskeletal disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a commonly used diagnostic modality for RCT, but the interpretation of the results is tedious and has some reliability issu...
BACKGROUND: Detection of rotator cuff tears, a common cause of shoulder disability, can be time-consuming and subject to reader variability. Deep learning (DL) has the potential to increase radiologist accuracy and consistency.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The use of MRI as a diagnostic tool has gained popularity in the field of orthopedics. Although 3-dimensional (3D) MRI offers more intuitive visualization and can better facilitate treatment planning than 2-dimensional (2D) MRI, m...

Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are one of the most common shoulder injuries, which are typically diagnosed using relatively expensive and time-consuming diagnostic imaging tests such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. Deep learning algo...
BACKGROUD: It has been reported that vitamin D may play an important role in rotator cuff tears. However, there has been limited information about the prevalence of and risk factors for hypovitaminosis D in patients with rotator cuff tears. Therefore...
Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is one of the most common shoulder injuries. When diagnosing RCT, skilled orthopedists visually interpret magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan data. For automated and accurate diagnosis of RCT, we propose a full 3D convolutio...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at developing a convolutional neural network (CNN) able to automatically quantify and characterize the level of degeneration of rotator cuff (RC) muscles from shoulder CT images including muscle atrophy and fatty infiltra...
