This study explores the use of radiomic features extracted from preoperative T2-weighted MRI and CT images, combined with machine learning models, to predict the risk of vertebral refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in postmenopausal wome...
BACKGROUND: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) are common in older adults and often lead to disability if not properly diagnosed and classified. With the increased use of computed tomography (CT) imaging and the development of radiomics and deep...
BACKGROUND: Vertebral recompression after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) may lead to recurrent pain, deformity, and neurological impairment, compromising prognosis and quality of life.
Cervical vertebrae fractures pose a significant risk to a patient's health. The accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment need to be provided for effective treatment. Moreover, the automated analysis of the cervical vertebrae fracture is of utmost impo...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) in improving image quality of virtual non-hydroxyapatite (VNHAP) and virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs), and radiologists' performance in detecting acute vertebral compressi...
Kyphosis is a prevalent spinal condition where the spine curves in the sagittal plane, resulting in spine deformities. Curvature estimation provides a powerful index to assess the deformation severity of scoliosis. In current clinical diagnosis, the ...

BACKGROUND: Vertebral fractures are linked to significant disability and mortality risks. Yet, existing studies on their global burden are outdated and lack predictive foresight.
OBJECTIVE: Efficient evaluation of soft tissues and bony structures following cervical spine trauma is critical. We sought to evaluate the diagnostic validity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based synthetic CT (sCT) compared with conventional com...
