A machine learning tool for prediction of vertebral compression fracture following stereotactic body radiation therapy for spinal metastases.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
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...

Towards real-time conformal palliative treatment of spine metastases: A deep learning approach for Hounsfield Unit recovery of cone beam CT images.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: The extension of onboard cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging for real-time treatment planning is constrained by limitations in image quality. Synthetic CT (sCT) generation using deep learning provides a potential solution to these limitations.

External validation of a machine learning prediction model for massive blood loss during surgery for spinal metastases: a multi-institutional study using 880 patients.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: A machine learning (ML) model was recently developed to predict massive intraoperative blood loss (>2,500 mL) during posterior decompressive surgery for spinal metastasis that performed well on external validation within the same ...

Predicting quality of life of patients after treatment for spinal metastatic disease: development and internal evaluation.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: When treating spinal metastases in a palliative setting, maintaining or enhancing quality of life (QoL) is the primary therapeutic objective. Clinicians tailor their treatment strategy by weighing the QoL benefits against expected...

Development and evaluation of a deep learning framework for pelvic and sacral tumor segmentation from multi-sequence MRI: a retrospective study.

Cancer imaging : the official publication of the International Cancer Imaging Society
BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of pelvic and sacral tumors (PSTs) in multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for effective treatment and surgical planning.

Direct-to-Treatment Adaptive Radiation Therapy: Live Planning of Spine Metastases Using Novel Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based online adaptive radiation therapy is carried out using a synthetic CT (sCT) created through deformable registration between the patient-specific fan-beam CT, fan-beam computed tomography (FBCT), and...

External validation of 12 existing survival prediction models for patients with spinal metastases.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Survival prediction models for patients with spinal metastases may inform patients and clinicians in shared decision-making.

Identifying Primary Sites of Spinal Metastases: Expert-Derived Features vs. ResNet50 Model Using Nonenhanced MRI.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: The spinal column is a frequent site for metastases, affecting over 30% of solid tumor patients. Identifying the primary tumor is essential for guiding clinical decisions but often requires resource-intensive diagnostics.

Comparative diagnostic accuracy of ChatGPT-4 and machine learning in differentiating spinal tuberculosis and spinal tumors.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, distinguishing between spinal tuberculosis (STB) and spinal tumors (ST) poses a significant diagnostic challenge. The application of AI-driven large language models (LLMs) shows great potential for improving the accu...
