Background: Accurate spinal structure measurement is crucial for assessing spine health and diagnosing conditions like spondylosis, disc herniation, and stenosis. Manual methods for measuring intervertebral disc height and spinal canal…
Study Design: This study presents the development of an autonomous AI system for MRI spine pathology detection, trained on a dataset of 2 million MRI spine scans sourced from diverse healthcare facilities across India. The AI system…
There has been a significant increase from 2010 to 2016 in the number of people suffering from spine problems. The automatic image segmentation of the spine obtained from a computed tomography (CT) image is important for diagnosing spine…
The spinal cord is frequently affected by atrophy and/or lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Segmentation of the spinal cord and lesions from MRI data provides measures of damage, which are key criteria for the diagnosis,…
Cervical spondylosis (CS) is a common chronic disease that affects up to two-thirds of the population and poses a serious burden on individuals and society. The early identification has significant value in improving cure rate and reducing…
This study's objective was to segment spinal metastases in diagnostic MR images using a deep learning-based approach. Segmentation of such lesions can present a pivotal step towards enhanced therapy planning and validation, as well as…
Scoliosis is a congenital disease in which the spine is deformed from its normal shape. Measurement of scoliosis requires labeling and identification of vertebrae in the spine. Spine radiographs are the most cost-effective and accessible…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can potentially support histopathologists in the diagnosis of a broad spectrum of cancer types. In colorectal cancer (CRC), AI can alleviate the laborious task of characterization and reporting on resected…
This research proposal discusses two challenges in the field of medical image analysis: the multi-parametric investigation on microstructural and macrostructural characteristics of the cervical spinal cord and deep learning-based medical…
Cervical spine fractures demand rapid and accurate diagnosis for effective clinical management. This study presents an automated, end-to-end pipeline for fracture detection across cervical vertebrae (C1--C7) that assesses the feasibility of…
Periorbital distances are critical markers for diagnosing and monitoring a range of oculoplastic and craniofacial conditions. Manual measurement, however, is subjective and prone to intergrader variability. Automated methods have been…
Objective: Until now, traditional invasive approaches have been the only means being leveraged to diagnose spinal disorders. Traditional manual diagnostics require a high workload, and diagnostic errors are likely to occur due to the…
The loss of cervical lordosis is a common degenerative disorder known to be associated with abnormal spinal alignment. In recent years, ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely applied in the assessment of spine deformity and has shown…
Manual annotation of vertebrae on spinal X-ray imaging is costly and time-consuming due to bone shape complexity and image quality variations. In this study, we address this challenge by proposing an ensemble method called VertXNet, to…
Continual learning is rapidly emerging as a key focus in computer vision, aiming to develop AI systems capable of continuous improvement, thereby enhancing their value and practicality in diverse real-world applications. In healthcare,…
Cervical spine fractures constitute a critical medical emergency, with the potential for lifelong paralysis or even fatality if left untreated or undetected. Over time, these fractures can deteriorate without intervention. To address the…
Vertebral labelling and segmentation are two fundamental tasks in an automated spine processing pipeline. Reliable and accurate processing of spine images is expected to benefit clinical decision-support systems for diagnosis, surgery…
Prostate cancer represents a major threat to health. Early detection is vital in reducing the mortality rate among prostate cancer patients. One approach involves using multi-modality (CT, MRI, US, etc.) computer-aided diagnosis (CAD)…
Cervical cancer is highly preventable, yet persistent barriers to screening limit progress toward elimination goals. Speculum-free devices that integrate imaging and sampling could improve access, particularly in low-resource settings, but…
Automated lumbar spine segmentation is very crucial for modern diagnosis systems. In this study, we introduce a novel machine-agnostic approach for segmenting lumbar vertebrae and intervertebral discs from MRI images, employing a cascaded…
