BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to develop and validate machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the 30-day and 6-month risk of deteriorating functional status following surgical treatment for thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS). We aimed to...
OBJECTIVES: The assessment of lumbar central canal stenosis (LCCS) is crucial for diagnosing and planning treatment for patients with low back pain and neurogenic pain. However, manual assessment methods are time-consuming, variable, and require axia...
BACKGROUND: A deep learning (DL) model that can automatically detect and classify cervical canal and neural foraminal stenosis using cervical spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) is the main causative factor of spinal stenosis, but how to accurately and efficiently identify the ossification region is a clinical pain point and an urgent problem to be solved. Currently, we can only re...
BACKGROUND: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a major cause of pain and disability in older individuals worldwide. Although increasing studies of traditional machine learning (TML) and deep learning (DL) were conducted in the field of diagnosing LSS an...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Longer posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgeries for individuals with lumbar spinal stenosis are linked to more complications and negatively affect recovery after the operation. Therefore, there is a critical need for a m...
BACKGROUND: Developing computer-assisted methods to measure the Torg-Pavlov ratio (TPR), defined as the ratio of the sagittal diameter of the cervical spinal canal to the sagittal diameter of the corresponding vertebral body on lateral radiographs, c...
