Freehand 3-D ultrasound imaging is emerging as a promising modality for regular spine exams due to its noninvasiveness and affordability. The laminae landmarks play a critical role in depicting the 3-D shape of the spine. However, the extraction of t...
BACKGROUND: The management of patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures remains a topic of debate, with conservative treatment being successful in most cases but not all. This study aimed to assess the utility of machine learning models (MLMs) in p...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to develop and validate machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the 30-day and 6-month risk of deteriorating functional status following surgical treatment for thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS). We aimed to...
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) of the thoracolumbar spine are commonly caused by osteoporosis or result from traumatic events. Early diagnosis of vertebral compression fractures can prevent further damage to patients. When assessing these fra...
OBJECTIVE: The accurate measurement of Cobb angles is crucial for the effective clinical management of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The Lenke classification system plays a pivotal role in determining the appropriate fusion lev...
Radiation treatment of cancers like prostate or cervix cancer requires considering nearby bone structures like vertebrae. In this work, we present and validate a novel automated method for the 3D segmentation of individual lumbar and thoracic vertebr...
