Spinal cord functional MRI studies require precise localization of spinal levels for reliable voxelwise group analyses. Traditional template-based registration of the spinal cord uses intervertebral discs for alignment. However, substantial…

Automated quality assessment of structural brain MRI is an important prerequisite for reliable neuroimaging analysis, but yet remains challenging due to motion artifacts and poor generalization across acquisition sites. Existing approaches…

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in fetal motion correction in MRI. We delve into various contemporary methodologies and technological advancements aimed at overcoming these challenges. It includes…

Accurate CT-MRI registration of the cervical spine is essential for preoperative planning because this region is anatomically complex,highly variable,and vulnerable to injury of the vertebral arteries and spinal cord. However,cervical…

Purpose: To develop a deep learning method for the automatic segmentation of spinal nerve rootlets on various MRI scans. Material and Methods: This retrospective study included MRI scans from two open-access and one private dataset,…

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…

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely known medical imaging technique used to assess the heart function. Deep learning (DL) models perform several tasks in cardiac MRI (CMR) images with good efficacy, such as segmentation,…

We present a novel deep learning method for fully automated detection and classification of the Cervical Vertebrae Maturation (CVM) stages. The deep convolutional neural network consists of three parallel networks (TriPodNet) independently…

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity affecting approximately 2.2% of boys and 4.8% of girls worldwide. The Cobb angle serves as the gold standard for AIS severity assessment, yet traditional manual measurements…

Convolutional network techniques have recently achieved great success in vision based detection tasks. This paper introduces the recent development of our research on transplanting the fully convolutional network technique to the detection…

We propose a novel machine learning strategy for studying neuroanatomical shape variation. Our model works with volumetric binary segmentation images, and requires no pre-processing such as the extraction of surface points or a mesh. The…

Purpose. To present SPINEPS, an open-source deep learning approach for semantic and instance segmentation of 14 spinal structures (ten vertebra substructures, intervertebral discs, spinal cord, spinal canal, and sacrum) in whole body T2w…

Scoliosis is a congenital disease that causes lateral curvature in the spine. Its assessment relies on the identification and localization of vertebrae in spinal X-ray images, conventionally via tedious and time-consuming manual…

Landmark Localization plays a very important role in processing medical images as well as in disease identification. However, In medical field, it's a challenging task because of the complexity of medical images and the high requirement of…

The treatment of degenerative spinal disorders requires an understanding of the individual spinal anatomy and curvature in 3D. An upright spinal pose (i.e. standing) under natural weight bearing is crucial for such bio-mechanical analysis.…

The analysis of single CT slices extracted at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) has garnered significant clinical interest in the past few years, in particular in regards to quantifying sarcopenia (muscle loss). In this paper, we propose an…

Automatic segmentation of pathological shoulder muscles in patients with musculo-skeletal diseases is a challenging task due to the huge variability in muscle shape, size, location, texture and injury. A reliable fully-automated…

Robust localisation and identification of vertebrae is essential for automated spine analysis. The contribution of this work to the task is two-fold: (1) Inspired by the human expert, we hypothesise that a sagittal and coronal reformation…

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging technique that provides exquisite soft-tissue contrast without using ionizing radiation. The clinical application of MRI may be limited by long data acquisition times; therefore, MR…

One of the fundamental challenges in supervised learning for multimodal image registration is the lack of ground-truth for voxel-level spatial correspondence. This work describes a method to infer voxel-level transformation from…
