PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of deep learning (DL)-based k-space-to-image reconstruction and super resolution for whole-spine diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).
OBJECTIVE: Modic changes (MCs) are the most prevalent classification system for describing intravertebral MRI signal intensity changes. However, interpreting these intricate MRI images is a complex and time-consuming process. This study investigates ...
BACKGROUND: There is scant data on the role that robotics and navigation play in spine surgery training and practice of early attendings. This study aimed to assess the impact of navigation and robotics on spine surgery training and practice.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Vertebral body tethering is the most popular nonfusion treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The effect of the tether cord on the spine can be segmentally assessed by comparing the angle between two adjacent screws (inter...
In the research field of robotic spine surgery, there is a big upcoming momentum for surgeon-like autonomous behaviour and surgical accuracy in robotics which goes beyond the standard engineering notions such as geometric precision. The objective of ...
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) can offer revolutionary advances in their application to the field of spine surgery. Within the past 5 years, novel applications of ML have assisted in surgical decision-making, intraoperative imaging...
