In this contribution, we present a fully automatic approach, that is based on two convolution neural networks (CNN) together with a spine tracing algorithm utilizing a population optimization algorithm. Based on the evaluation of 130 CT scans includi...
Automatic vertebrae localization and identification in medical computed tomography (CT) scans is of great value for computer-aided spine diseases diagnosis. In order to overcome the disadvantages of the approaches employing hand-crafted, low-level fe...

This chapter intends to provide an overview of computer-assisted minimally invasive spine surgery (CAMISS) and its clinical application. Since minimally invasive spine surgery was first brought out, the concept of decreasing the damage to patient was...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of using clinically provided spine label annotations stored in a single institution image archive as training data for deep learning-based vertebral detection and labeling pipelines. Lumbar a...
OBJECTIVE Surgical robotics has demonstrated utility across the spectrum of surgery. Robotics in spine surgery, however, remains in its infancy. Here, the authors systematically review the evidence behind robotic applications in spinal instrumentatio...
