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...
To date, 3D spine reconstruction from biplanar radiographs involves intensive user supervision and semi-automated methods that are time-consuming and not effective in clinical routine. This paper proposes a new, fast, and automated 3D spine reconstru...

Scoliosis is a common spinal condition where the spine curves to the side and thus deforms the spine. Curvature estimation provides a powerful index to evaluate the deformation severity of scoliosis. In current clinical diagnosis, the standard curvat...
BACKGROUND: The progression of the spinal curve represents one of the major concerns in the assessment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). The prediction of the shape of the spine from the first visit could guide the management of AIS and provi...
Automated quantitative estimation of spinal curvature is an important task for the ongoing evaluation and treatment planning of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). It solves the widely accepted disadvantage of manual Cobb angle measurement (time-c...
