Recent years have witnessed wider prevalence of vertebral column pathologies due to lifestyle changes, sedentary behaviors, or injuries. Spondylolisthesis and scoliosis are two of the most common ailments with an incidence of 5% and 3% in the United ...
In recent years, exome sequencing (ES) has shown great utility in the diagnoses of Mendelian disorders. However, after rigorous filtering, a typical ES analysis still involves the interpretation of hundreds of variants, which greatly hinders the rapi...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Timely intervention in growing individuals, such as brace treatment, relies on early detection of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). To this end, several screening methods have been implemented. However, these methods have lim...
OBJECTIVE: Patients with ASD show complex and highly variable disease. The decision to manage patients operatively is largely subjective and varies based on surgeon training and experience. We sought to develop models capable of accurately discrimina...

PURPOSE: The aim of this work is to propose a classification algorithm to automatically detect treatment for scoliosis (brace, implant or no treatment) in postero-anterior radiographs. Such automatic labelling of radiographs could represent a step to...
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal disorder in adolescents with a prevalence of 0.5-5.2% worldwide. The traditional methods for scoliosis screening are easily accessible but require unnecessary referrals and radiography exposur...

OBJECTIVES: To automatically measure the Cobb angle and diagnose scoliosis on chest X-rays, a computer-aided method was proposed and the reliability and accuracy were evaluated.
Accurate automated quantitative Cobb angle estimation that quantitatively evaluates scoliosis plays an important role in scoliosis diagnosis and treatment. It solves the problem of the traditional manual method, which is the current clinical standard...
Automated identification and localization of vertebrae in spinal computed tomography (CT) imaging is a complicated hybrid task. This task requires detecting and indexing a long sequence in a 3-D image, and both image feature extraction and sequence m...
