An automatic detection method for 197 anatomically defined landmarks in computed
tomography (CT) volumes is presented. The proposed method can handle missed …

Automatic localization and segmentation of vertebral bodies in CT volumes bears many
clinical utilities, such as shape analysis. Variation in the vertebra appearance, unknown field …

Abstract Evaluation of lumbolumbar (LL) angle of the vertebral column from medical images
is a common measure in case of patients suffering from lower back pain (LBP). There are …

Plain film X-ray scanners are indispensable for medical diagnostics and clinical procedures.
This type of device typically produces two radiographic images of the human spine …

The proposed work can be divided into two parts: first, remove the noise from the trabecular
lumbar spine L1-L4 of the X-ray images using two-stage principal component analysis with …

(1) Background: Spondylolisthesis, a common disease among older individuals, involves the
displacement of vertebrae. The condition may gradually manifest with age, allowing for …

Central points in femoral backbone are invisible, and these points provide clinicians with key
anatomical marker points in surgical procedures to assist clinicians to complete TKA (Total …

Objective: Explore a new deep learning (DL) object detection algorithm for clinical auxiliary
diagnosis of lumbar spondylolisthesis and compare it with doctors' evaluation to verify the …

Accurate spinal landmarks are essential for registration and three-dimensional (3D)
reconstruction of the vertebrae. To avoid operator variability of manual landmarks, we …

Geometrical parameters of the spine have been identified as valuable for describing spinal
deformities, and their measurement is commonly based on landmarks, identified in …
