The spine is an important part of the human body. Thus, its curvature and shape are closely monitored, and treatment is required if abnormalities are detected. However, the current method of spinal examination mostly relies on two-dimensional static ...
In recent times, widely understood spine diseases have advanced to one of the most urgetn problems where quick diagnosis and treatment are needed. To diagnose its specifics (e.g. to decide whether this is a scoliosis or sagittal imbalance) and assess...

Scoliosis diagnosis and assessment rely upon Cobb angle estimation from X-ray images of the spine. Recently, automated scoliosis assessment has been greatly improved using deep learning methods. However, in such methods, the Cobb angle is usually pre...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted spine surgery is increasingly used in clinical work, and the installation of tracers as a key step in robotic surgery has rarely been studied.
