BACKGROUND: Accurate spinal screw placement in spinal instrumentation is of utmost importance to avoid injury to surrounding neurovascular structures. This study was performed to investigate differences in accuracy, operating room time, length of sta...
Due to the complex shape of the vertebrae and the background containing a lot of interference information, it is difficult to accurately segment the vertebrae from the computed tomography (CT) volume by manual segmentation. This paper proposes a conv...
The aim was to further explore the clinical value of deep learning algorithm in the field of spinal medical image segmentation, and this study designed an improved U-shaped network (BN-U-Net) algorithm and applied it to the spinal MRI medical image s...

Robotic navigation is a new and rapidly emerging niche within minimally invasive spine surgery. The robotic arms-race began in 2004 and has resulted in no less than four major robotic surgical adjuncts. Current Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-appr...
This paper proposes a deep-learning-based image enhancement approach that can generate high-resolution micro-CT-like images from multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). A total of 12,500 MDCT and micro-CT image pairs were obtained from 25 vertebral...
