Scoliosis is a condition of abnormal lateral spinal curvature affecting an estimated 2 to 3% of the US population, or seven million people. The Cobb angle is the standard measurement of spinal curvature in scoliosis but is known to have high interobserver and intraobserver variability. Thus, the objective of this study was to build and validate a system for automatic quantitative evaluation of the Cobb angle and to compare AI generated and human reports in the clinical setting.

- A study was conducted to explore the connection between variations in sciatic nerve anatomy and the occurrence of piriformis syndrome over a period of 49 months, using 1,039 adult hip MRIs.
- Researchers found that 19.2% of the cases had sciatic nerve variants, but there was no significant difference in the prevalence of piriformis syndrome when comparing these variants to normal nerve anatomy.
- The findings challenge previous assumptions about the relationship between sciatic nerve variants and piriformis syndrome, suggesting that anatomical differences may not play a significant role in the development of this condition.
