Spinal Curvature

Spinal curvature analysis focuses on accurately measuring and interpreting the shape of the spine, primarily to diagnose and manage conditions like scoliosis. Current research emphasizes developing automated methods for analyzing spinal X-rays and ultrasound images, employing deep learning architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformers to improve accuracy and reduce reliance on time-consuming manual measurements. These advancements aim to enhance diagnostic precision, reduce inter-rater variability, and ultimately improve patient care by providing more objective and efficient assessments of spinal deformities.
