Machine learning algorithms for prediction of cerebrospinal fluid leakage after posterior surgery for thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum.

Scientific reports
To develop and validate a machine-learning (ML) model that pre-operatively predicts cerebrospinal-fluid leakage (CSFL) after posterior decompression for thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF), and to elucidate the key risk factors driv...

AI-based CT assessment of 3117 vertebrae reveals significant sex-specific vertebral height differences.

Scientific reports
Predicting vertebral height is complex due to individual factors. AI-based medical imaging analysis offers new opportunities for vertebral assessment. Thereby, these novel methods may contribute to sex-adapted nomograms and vertebral height predictio...

UANV: UNet-based attention network for thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture angle measurement.

Scientific reports
Kyphosis is a prevalent spinal condition where the spine curves in the sagittal plane, resulting in spine deformities. Curvature estimation provides a powerful index to assess the deformation severity of scoliosis. In current clinical diagnosis, the ...

Artificial intelligence for opportunistic osteoporosis screening with a Hounsfield Unit in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry
INTRODUCTION: To investigate the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI) prototype in determining bone mineral density (BMD) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients using chest computed tomography (CT) scans.

Waveform characteristics in thoracic paravertebral space: a prospective observational study.

F1000Research
BACKGROUND: With increased use of thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) in thoracic surgery, many faced the challenge of locating the thoracic paravertebral space (TPVS) ultrasonographically. This observational study aimed to investigate the waveform c...

A deep learning pipeline for systematic and accurate vertebral fracture reporting in computed tomography.

Clinical radiology
AIM: Spine fractures are a frequent and relevant diagnosis, but systematic documentation is time-consuming and sometimes overlooked. A deep learning pipeline for opportunistic fracture detection in computed tomography (CT) spine images of varying fie...

Machine learning analysis of cervical balance in early-onset scoliosis post-growing rod surgery: a case-control study.

Scientific reports
We aimed to analyze the cervical sagittal alignment change following the growing rod treatment in early-onset scoliosis (EOS) and identify the risk factors of sagittal cervical imbalance after growing-rod surgery of machine learning. EOS patients fro...

Deep learning model for automated detection of fresh and old vertebral fractures on thoracolumbar CT.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning system for automatic segmentation of compression fracture vertebral bodies on thoracolumbar CT and differentiate between fresh and old fractures.
