PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a novel deep learning (DL) tool for fully automated measurements of the sagittal spinopelvic balance from X-ray images of the spine in comparison with manual measurements.
One of the first tasks in osteotomy and arthroplasty is to identify the lower limb varus and valgus deformity status. The measurement of a set of angles to determine this status is generally performed manually with the measurement accuracy depending ...
