The accuracy of the Cobb measurement is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis. Manual measurement is however influenced by the observer variability hence affecting progression evaluation. In this paper, we propose a fully automatic C...
(1) Background: Robotics coupled with navigation (RAN) is a modern surgical platform shown to increase screw placement accuracy during pediatric scoliosis surgery. Our institution uses a technique which combines the RAN platform for apical pedicle sc...
BACKGROUND: Natural language processing (NLP) is a discipline of machine learning concerned with the analysis of language and text. Although NLP has been applied to various forms of clinical text, the applications and utility of NLP in spine surgery ...

PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of pedicle screw placement in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) between robotics and navigation and clarify the factors that cause screw deviation when robotics is used.
In recent times, widely understood spine diseases have advanced to one of the most urgetn problems where quick diagnosis and treatment are needed. To diagnose its specifics (e.g. to decide whether this is a scoliosis or sagittal imbalance) and assess...

Scoliosis diagnosis and assessment rely upon Cobb angle estimation from X-ray images of the spine. Recently, automated scoliosis assessment has been greatly improved using deep learning methods. However, in such methods, the Cobb angle is usually pre...
IMPORTANCE: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common pediatric spinal disorder. Routine physical examinations by trained personnel are critical to diagnose severity and monitor curve progression in AIS. In the presence of concerning m...
