A convolutional neural network to detect scoliosis treatment in radiographs

Abstract: The aim of this work is to propose a classification algorithm to automatically detect treatment for scoliosis (brace, implant or no treatment) in postero-anterior radiographs. Such automatic labelling of radiographs could represent a step towards global automatic radiological analysis. Methods Seven hundred and ninety-six frontal radiographies of adolescents were collected (84 patients wearing a brace, 325 with a spinal implant and 387 reference images with no treatment). The dataset was augmented to a total o… Show more

“…Other authors have assessed the ability of AI to predict scoliosis progression [74], assess the Risser stage [75], detect evidence of scoliosis treatment from radiographs [76] and to automate three-dimensional (3-D) spine reconstructions from biplanar images [77].…”

“…Wang et al [ 15 ] designed a deep learning model to differentiate between progressive (P) and non-progressive (NP) classes at first clinic visit. Vergari et al [ 23 ] combined CNN with discriminate analysis to determine the type of scoliosis treatment appearing the X-ray image (i.e., brace, spinal implant, or neither). Although their study did not aim to diagnose scoliosis, the authors claim that their work will facilitate the processing of large databases for such research purposes.…”

“…The recent explosion of using labeled data, namely ‘big data’, has brought upon the era of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of medical diagnostics and imaging, which has particularly benefitted from the application of AI based innovations [ 18 ]. Regarding imaging of the spine, promising results in the assessment of degenerative disorders [ 19 ], adult deformities [ 20 ] and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis [ 21 ], as well as in the detection of primary and secondary bone tumors [ 22 , 23 ], and vertebral fractures [ 24 ] have been recently published. Deep learning (DL) is a machine learning method that uses an algorithmic structure most commonly based on neural networks, such as convolutional neural networks.…”
