Scoliosis, a prevalent condition characterized by abnormal spinal curvature leading to deformity, requires precise assessment methods for effective diagnosis and management. The Cobb angle is a widely used scoliosis quantification method…
Cobb angle, which is a measure of spinal curvature is the standard method for quantifying the magnitude of Scoliosis related to spinal deformity in orthopedics. Determining the Cobb angle through manual process is subject to human errors.…
Objectives: To quantify the magnitude of spinal deformity in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the Cobb angle is measured on X-ray images of the spine. Continuous exposure to X-ray radiation to follow-up the progression of scoliosis…
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a lifetime disease that arises in children. Accurate estimation of Cobb angles of the scoliosis is essential for clinicians to make diagnosis and treatment decisions. The Cobb angles are measured…
Scoliosis is a condition defined by an abnormal spinal curvature. For diagnosis and treatment planning of scoliosis, spinal curvature can be estimated using Cobb angles. We propose an automated method for the estimation of Cobb angles from…
Correct evaluation and treatment of Scoliosis require accurate estimation of spinal curvature. Current gold standard is to manually estimate Cobb Angles in spinal X-ray images which is time consuming and has high inter-rater variability. We…
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…
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…
The Cobb angle that quantitatively evaluates the spinal curvature plays an important role in the scoliosis diagnosis and treatment. Conventional measurement of these angles suffers from huge variability and low reliability due to intensive…
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed among young teenagers. It dramatically affects the quality of life, which can cause complications from heart and lung injuries in severe cases. The current gold…
Scoliosis diagnosis and assessment depend largely on the measurement of the Cobb angle in spine X-ray images. With the emergence of deep learning techniques that employ landmark detection, tilt prediction, and spine segmentation, automated…
The current clinical gold standard for evaluating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is X-ray radiography, using Cobb angle measurement. However, the frequent monitoring of the AIS progression using X-rays poses a challenge due to the…
Scoliosis affects roughly 2 to 4 percent of adolescents, and treatment decisions depend on precise Cobb angle measurement. Manual assessment is time consuming and subject to inter observer variation. We conducted a retrospective, multi…
Automated methods for Cobb angle estimation are of high demand for scoliosis assessment. Existing methods typically calculate the Cobb angle from landmark estimation, or simply combine the low-level task (e.g., landmark detection and spine…
Automated Cobb angle estimation based on X-ray images plays an important role in scoliosis diagnosis, treatment, and progression surveillance. The inadequate feature extraction and the noise in X-ray images are the main difficulties of…
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity, which may lead to abnormal morphologies, such as thoracic deformity, and pelvic tilt. Severe patients may suffer from nerve damage and urinary abnormalities. At present, the number of…
Background: Ultrasound (US) imaging for scoliosis assessment is challenging for a non-experienced operator. The robotic scanning was developed to follow a spinal curvature with deep learning and apply consistent forces to the patient' back.…
Spinal curvature estimation is important to the diagnosis and treatment of the scoliosis. Existing methods face several issues such as the need of expensive annotations on the vertebral landmarks and being sensitive to the image quality. It…
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…
Scoliosis is a spinal curvature disorder that is difficult to detect early and can compress the chest cavity, impacting respiratory function and cardiac health. Especially for adolescents, delayed detection and treatment result in worsening…
