BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Lumbar foraminal stenosis (LFS) is a common spinal condition that requires accurate assessment. Current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reporting processes are often inefficient, and while deep learning has potential for improvem...
OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to develop a single-stage deep learning (DL) screening system for automated binary and multiclass grading of lumbar central stenosis (LCS), lateral recess stenosis (LRS), and lumbar foraminal stenosis (LFS).
OBJECTIVE: To develop a deep learning algorithm for diagnosing lumbar central canal stenosis (LCCS) using abdominal CT (ACT) and lumbar spine CT (LCT).
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm that can diagnose cervical foraminal stenosis using oblique radiographs and evaluate its accuracy.
BACKGROUND: Lumbar disc herniation was regarded as an age-related degenerative disease. Nevertheless, emerging reports highlight a discernible shift, illustrating the prevalence of these conditions among younger individuals.
To compare the quality and interobserver agreement in the evaluation of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) on computed tomography (CT) images between deep-learning reconstruction (DLR) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (hybrid IR). This retrospective stu...
BACKGROUND: Transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESI) are widely used to alleviate lumbosacral radicular pain. Knowledge of the therapeutic outcomes of TFESI allows clinicians to elucidate therapeutic plans for managing lumbosacral radicular...
BACKGROUND: The referral process for consultation with a spine surgeon remains inefficient, given a substantial proportion of referrals to spine surgeons are nonoperative.
Recently, spine surgery has gradually evolved from conventional open surgery to minimally invasive surgery, and endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) has become an important procedure in minimally invasive spine surgery. With improvements in the optics, spi...
