The magnetically controlled growing rod technique is an effective surgical treatment for children who have early-onset scoliosis. The length of the instrumented growing rods is adjusted regularly to compensate for the normal growth of these patients....
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate machine learning algorithms to automatically extract the rod length of the magnetically controlled growing rod from ultrasound images (US) in a pilot study.

To propose a deep learning framework "SpineCurve-net" for automated measuring the 3D Cobb angles from computed tomography (CT) images of presurgical scoliosis patients. A total of 116 scoliosis patients were analyzed, divided into a training set of 8...
Predicting curve progression during the initial visit is pivotal in the disease management of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)-identifying patients at high risk of progression is essential for timely and proactive interventions. Bo...
Spinal deformities, including adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and adult spinal deformity (ASD), affect many patients. The measurement of the Cobb angle on coronal radiographs is essential for their diagnosis and treatment planning. To enhance t...
Analyses of complex behaviors of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) have become increasingly important in diseases diagnosis. The changes of the phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) signal formed by the velocity of flowing CSF are represented as...

PURPOSE: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a chronic disease that may require correction surgery. The finite element method (FEM) is a popular option to plan the outcome of surgery on a patient-based model. However, it requires considerable computin...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop and apply an algorithm that automatically classifies spine radiographs of pediatric scoliosis patients.
Accurate prediction of scoliotic curve progression is crucial for guiding treatment decisions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Traditional methods of assessing the likelihood of AIS progression are limited by variability and rely on static m...
