Segmenting the spine from CT images is crucial for diagnosing and treating spine-related conditions but remains challenging due to the spine's complex anatomy and imaging artifacts. This study introduces a novel encoder-decoder-based deep learning ap...
Osteoporosis, a bone disease characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) resulting in decreased mechanical strength and an increased fracture risk, remains poorly understood in children. Herein, we developed/validated a deep learning-based ...

Accurate segmentation of three-dimensional (3D) clinical medical images is critical for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal diseases. However, the complexity of spinal anatomy and the inherent uncertainties of current imaging technologies pose sign...
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional lateral and torsional deformity of the spine, affecting up to 5% of the population. Traditional scoliosis screening methods exhibit limited accuracy, leading to unnecessary referrals and ex...
OBJECTIVE: Scoliosis, a 3-D spinal deformity, requires early detection and intervention. Ultrasound curve angle (UCA) measurement using ultrasound images has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool. However, calculating the UCA directly from ultrasoun...
