BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The most common adverse event following spine stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is vertebral compression fracture (VCF). There is interest in the development of patient-specific tools that can predict those at high risk of...
The most common causes of spine fractures, or vertebral column fractures (VCF), are traumas like falls, injuries from sports, or accidents. CT scans are affordable and effective at detecting VCF types in an accurate manner. VCF type identification in...
Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA

UNLABELLED: To determine the potential economic, morbidity and mortality impact of improvements in reporting of vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs) following a complete audit cycle. Six percent interval increase in reporting of moderate/severe VFFs ...
BACKGROUND: Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are prevalent in the elderly, often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. Differentiating acute from chronic VCFs is vital for treatment planning, but MRI, the gold standard, is inaccessible for some. Ho...

The thyrohyoid complex and cervical spine fracture distribution patterns may reflect the knot position as the force distribution by the noose to different neck regions may vary depending on it. Recently, machine learning models (MLm) were used to cla...
AIM: Spine fractures are a frequent and relevant diagnosis, but systematic documentation is time-consuming and sometimes overlooked. A deep learning pipeline for opportunistic fracture detection in computed tomography (CT) spine images of varying fie...
