OBJECTIVES: To automatically measure the Cobb angle and diagnose scoliosis on chest X-rays, a computer-aided method was proposed and the reliability and accuracy were evaluated.
Automated identification and localization of vertebrae in spinal computed tomography (CT) imaging is a complicated hybrid task. This task requires detecting and indexing a long sequence in a 3-D image, and both image feature extraction and sequence m...

BACKGROUND: Rates of adverse events following spine surgery vary widely by patient-, diagnosis-, and procedure-related factors. It is critical to understand the expected rates of complications and to be able to implement targeted efforts at limiting ...
Muscle fat infiltration (MFI) of the deep cervical spine extensors has been observed in cervical spine conditions using time-consuming and rater-dependent manual techniques. Deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) models have demonstrated st...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We propose an automatic approach for fast vertebral body segmentation in three-dimensional magnetic resonance images of the whole spine. Previous works are limited to the lower thoracolumbar section and often take minutes to...
Current deep supervised learning methods typically require large amounts of labeled data for training. Since there is a significant cost associated with clinical data acquisition and labeling, medical datasets used for training these models are relat...
To date, 3D spine reconstruction from biplanar radiographs involves intensive user supervision and semi-automated methods that are time-consuming and not effective in clinical routine. This paper proposes a new, fast, and automated 3D spine reconstru...
In many medical image analysis applications, only a limited amount of training data is available due to the costs of image acquisition and the large manual annotation effort required from experts. Training recent state-of-the-art machine learning met...

PURPOSE: We present an automated method for extracting anatomical parameters from biplanar radiographs of the spine, which is able to deal with a wide scenario of conditions, including sagittal and coronal deformities, degenerative phenomena as well ...
The absence or poor preservation of vertebrae often prevent the application of the anatomical method for stature estimation. The main objective of this paper was to develop a web app based on artificial neural network (ANN) models to estimate the ver...
