AIMS: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery can reduce pain and disability. However, the actual surgical efficacy of ASD in doing so is far from desirable, with frequent complications and limited improvement in quality of life. The accurate prediction...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Among adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, heterogeneity in patient pathology, surgical expectations, baseline impairments, and frailty complicates comparisons in clinical outcomes and research. This study aims to qualitatively ...
INTRODUCTION: Spinal measurements play an integral role in surgical planning for a variety of spine procedures. Full-length imaging eliminates distortions that can occur with stitched images. However, these images take radiologists significantly long...

AIM: Deep learning (DL) algorithms can be used for automated analysis of medical imaging. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of an innovative, fully automated DL algorithm for analysis of sagittal balance in adult spinal deformity (ASD)...
The spine is an important part of the human body. Thus, its curvature and shape are closely monitored, and treatment is required if abnormalities are detected. However, the current method of spinal examination mostly relies on two-dimensional static ...

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence based on deep learning (DL) approaches enables the automatic recognition of anatomic landmarks and subsequent estimation of various spinopelvic parameters. The locations of inflection points (IPs) and apices (APs) in ...
Analyzing spinal curvatures manually is time-consuming and tedious for clinicians, and intra-observer and inter-observer variability can affect manual measurements. In this study, we developed and evaluated the performance of an automated deep learni...
IMPORTANCE: The loss of the physiologic cervical lordotic curve is a common degenerative disorder known to be associated with abnormal spinal alignment. However, the changing trends among sex and age groups has not yet been well established.

PURPOSE: We present an automated method for extracting anatomical parameters from biplanar radiographs of the spine, which is able to deal with a wide scenario of conditions, including sagittal and coronal deformities, degenerative phenomena as well ...
