The accurate localization of anatomical landmarks is a challenging task, often solved by domain specific approaches. We propose a method for the automatic localization of …
Medical image landmark detection can automatically determine the pre-set position coordinates in medical images, so as to further assist disease diagnosis and treatment …
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine peri-operative morbidity associated with anterior vertebral body tethering (aVBT) for idiopathic scoliosis. Method Of 175 patients …
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity recognized with lateral curvature of the spine as well as axial vertebral rotation …
Study Design. A validated finite element model of an L3–L4 motion segment is used to analyze the effects of interpersonal differences in geometry on spinal stiffness. Objective …
The biomechanics of bracing in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is still not fully understood. Finite element models (FEM) have been used but the gravity forces were not included and …
