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…

Osteoporosis induced fractures occur worldwide about every 3 seconds. Vertebral compression fractures are early signs of the disease and considered risk predictors for secondary osteoporotic fractures. We present a detection method to…

This paper presents a method for automatic segmentation, localization, and identification of vertebrae in arbitrary 3D CT images. Many previous works do not perform the three tasks simultaneously even though requiring a priori knowledge of…

Vertebral body compression fractures are early signs of osteoporosis. Though these fractures are visible on Computed Tomography (CT) images, they are frequently missed by radiologists in clinical settings. Prior research on automatic…

Vertebral detection and segmentation are critical steps for treatment planning in spine surgery and radiation therapy. Accurate identification and segmentation are complicated in imaging that does not include the full spine, in cases with…

The vertebral levels of the spine provide a useful coordinate system when making measurements of plaque, muscle, fat, and bone mineral density. Correctly classifying vertebral levels with high accuracy is challenging due to the similar…

Vertebral body compression fractures are reliable early signs of osteoporosis. Though these fractures are visible on Computed Tomography (CT) images, they are frequently missed by radiologists in clinical settings. Prior research on…

Vertebrae identification in arbitrary fields-of-view plays a crucial role in diagnosing spine disease. Most spine CT contain only local regions, such as the neck, chest, and abdomen. Therefore, identification should not depend on specific…

An osteoporosis-related fracture occurs every three seconds worldwide, affecting one in three women and one in five men aged over 50. The early detection of at-risk patients facilitates effective and well-evidenced preventative…

Injuries of the spine, and its posterior elements in particular, are a common occurrence in trauma patients, with potentially devastating consequences. Computer-aided detection (CADe) could assist in the detection and classification of…

We propose a new, two-stage approach to the vertebrae centroid detection and localization problem. The first stage detects where the vertebrae appear in the scan using 3D samples, the second identifies the specific vertebrae within that…

Cervical spondylosis, a complex and prevalent condition, demands precise and efficient diagnostic techniques for accurate assessment. While MRI offers detailed visualization of cervical spine anatomy, manual interpretation remains…

Fractures of the cervical spine are a medical emergency and may lead to permanent paralysis and even death. Accurate diagnosis in patients with suspected fractures by computed tomography (CT) is critical to patient management. In this…

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging technique has been applied for scoliosis assessment, but current assessment method only uses coronal projection image and cannot illustrate the 3D deformity and vertebra rotation. The vertebra…

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…

In this paper we present a new 3D segmentation approach for the vertebrae of the lower thoracic and the lumbar spine in spiral computed tomography datasets. We implemented a multi-step procedure. Its main components are deformable models,…

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…

Bone segmentation is an essential step for the preoperative planning of fracture trauma surgery. The automated segmentation of fractured bone from computed tomography (CT) scans remains challenging, due to the large differences of fractures…

Recent advances in 3D fully convolutional networks (FCN) have made it feasible to produce dense voxel-wise predictions of volumetric images. In this work, we show that a multi-class 3D FCN trained on manually labeled CT scans of several…

Precise segmentation and anatomical identification of the vertebrae provides the basis for automatic analysis of the spine, such as detection of vertebral compression fractures or other abnormalities. Most dedicated spine CT and MR scans as…
