BACKGROUND: Adequate preoperative identification of patients at risk of significant healthcare utilization after surgery could help guide preoperative decision-making as well as postoperative patient management. While several studies have proposed me...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of lumbar spine CT using deep learning denoising (DLD CT) for detecting disc herniation and spinal stenosis.
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...
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to establish a large degenerative cervical myelopathy cohort and develop deep learning models for predicting cervical canal stenosis from sagittal T2-weighted MRI.

PURPOSE: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a frequently occurring condition defined by narrowing of the spinal or nerve root canal due to degenerative changes. Physicians use MRI scans to determine the severity of stenosis, occasionally complementing i...
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...
