A convolutional neural network to detect scoliosis treatment in radiographs.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The aim of this work is to propose a classification algorithm to automatically detect treatment for scoliosis (brace, implant or no treatment) in postero-anterior radiographs. Such automatic labelling of radiographs could represent a step to...

A deep learning tool for fully automated measurements of sagittal spinopelvic balance from X-ray images: performance evaluation.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a novel deep learning (DL) tool for fully automated measurements of the sagittal spinopelvic balance from X-ray images of the spine in comparison with manual measurements.

Low-contrast X-ray enhancement using a fuzzy gamma reasoning model.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
X-ray images play an important role in providing physicians with satisfactory information correlated to fractures and diseases; unfortunately, most of these images suffer from low contrast and poor quality. Thus, enhancement of the image will increas...

Calculating the target exposure index using a deep convolutional neural network and a rule base.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to determine the quality of chest X-ray images using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and a rule base without performing any visual assessment. A method is proposed for determining the minimum diagnos...

Automatic opportunistic osteoporosis screening using low-dose chest computed tomography scans obtained for lung cancer screening.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: Osteoporosis is a prevalent and treatable condition, but it remains underdiagnosed. In this study, a deep learning-based system was developed to automatically measure bone mineral density (BMD) for opportunistic osteoporosis screening usin...

Natural language processing for automated detection of incidental durotomy.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND: Incidental durotomy is a common intraoperative complication during spine surgery with potential implications for postoperative recovery, patient-reported outcomes, length of stay, and costs. To our knowledge, there are no processes availa...

The exploration of feature extraction and machine learning for predicting bone density from simple spine X-ray images in a Korean population.

Skeletal radiology
OBJECTIVE: Osteoporosis is hard to detect before it manifests symptoms and complications. In this study, we evaluated machine learning models for identifying individuals with abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) through an analysis of spine X-ray feat...

Machine learning-based prediction of radiographic progression in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.

Clinical rheumatology
INTRODUCTION: Machine learning is applied to characterize the risk and predict outcomes in multi-dimensional data. The prediction of radiographic progression in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) remains limited. Hence, we tested the feasibility of supe...

Partial Policy-Based Reinforcement Learning for Anatomical Landmark Localization in 3D Medical Images.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Utilizing the idea of long-term cumulative return, reinforcement learning (RL) has shown remarkable performance in various fields. We follow the formulation of landmark localization in 3D medical images as an RL problem. Whereas value-based methods h...
