INTRODUCTION: Spinal measurements play an integral role in surgical planning for a variety of spine procedures. Full-length imaging eliminates distortions that can occur with stitched images. However, these images take radiologists significantly long...
Robotic surgery has expanded globally across various medical specialties since its inception more than 20 years ago. Accompanying this expansion were significant technological improvements, providing tremendous benefits to patients and allowing the s...
BACKGROUND: The accurate diagnosis of fresh vertebral fractures (VFs) was critical to optimizing treatment outcomes. Existing studies, however, demonstrated insufficient accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in detecting fresh fractures using magnet...
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is increasingly performed using endoscopic and microscopic visualization, and the captured video can be used for surgical education and development of predictive artificial intelligence (AI) models. Video datas...

Segmentation of intervertebral discs and vertebrae from spine magnetic resonance (MR) images is essential to aid diagnosis algorithms for lumbar disc herniation. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are effective methods, but often require high comput...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a deep learning network for three-dimensional reconstruction of the spine from biplanar radiographs.

PURPOSE: Radiation-free systems based on dorsal surface topography can potentially represent an alternative to radiographic examination for early screening of scoliosis, based on the ability of recognizing the presence of deformity or classifying its...
Applications and workflows around spinal robotics have evolved since these systems were first introduced in 2004. Initially approved for lumbar pedicle screw placement, the scope of robotics has expanded to instrumentation across different regions. A...
Notable efforts have been devoted to the development of biomechanical models of the spine, so the development of a motion system to control the spine becomes expressively relevant. This paper presents a fuzzy controller to manipulate the movement of ...
