Automatic 3-D Lamina Curve Extraction From Freehand 3-D Ultrasound Data Using Sequential Localization Recurrent Convolutional Networks.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
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...

Predictive accuracy of machine learning models for conservative treatment failure in thoracolumbar burst fractures.

BMC musculoskeletal disorders
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...

Development and Internal Validation of Machine Learning to Predict Postoperative Worse Functional Status after Surgical Treatment for Thoracic Spinal Stenosis.

Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research
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...

Deep learning application of vertebral compression fracture detection using mask R-CNN.

Scientific reports
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...

Validation of Artificial Intelligence in the Classification of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and the Compairment to Clinical Manual Handling.

Orthopaedic surgery
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...

Lumbar and Thoracic Vertebrae Segmentation in CT Scans Using a 3D Multi-Object Localization and Segmentation CNN.

Tomography (Ann Arbor, Mich.)
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...

Keyhole Fenestration for Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in the Thoracic Spine: Quantification of Bone Removal and Microsurgical Anatomy.

Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A safe working trajectory is mandatory for spinal pathologies, especially in the midline, anterior to the spinal cord. For thoracic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, we developed a minimally invasive keyhole fenestration. Thi...

Automated Detection of the Thoracic Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament Using Deep Learning and Plain Radiographs.

BioMed research international
Ossification of the ligaments progresses slowly in the initial stages, and most patients are unaware of the disease until obvious myelopathy symptoms appear. Consequently, treatment and clinical outcomes are not satisfactory. This study is aimed at d...

Deep learning system for automated detection of posterior ligamentous complex injury in patients with thoracolumbar fracture on MRI.

Scientific reports
This study aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) algorithm for automated detection and localization of posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury in patients with acute thoracolumbar (TL) fracture on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and evaluate its ...

Automated measurements of interscrew angles in vertebral body tethering patients with deep learning.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
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...
