OBJECTIVE: Software engineering innovations have led to the development of virtual surgical planning software (VSPS) for deformity correction. VSPS uses calibrated radiographs and machine learning predictive models to simulate postoperative spinopelv...
OBJECTIVE: SpinePose was developed in 2024 as a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool to automatically predict spinopelvic parameters with high accuracy and without the need for manual entry. The authors' published results demonstrated excellent pe...
This study employs Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) as feature extractors with appended regression layers for the non-invasive prediction of Cobb Angle (CA) from Surface Topography (ST) scans in adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). The ai...
OBJECTIVE: Considering the radiation hazard of X-ray, safer, more convenient and cost-effective ultrasound methods are gradually becoming new diagnostic approaches for scoliosis. For ultrasound images of spine regions, it is challenging to accurately...
Accurate vertebrae segmentation is crucial for modern surgical technologies, and deep learning networks provide valuable tools for this task. This study explores the application of advanced deep learning-based methods for segmenting vertebrae in comp...
