AI-Driven Segmentation and Automated Analysis of the Whole Sagittal Spine from X-ray Images for Spinopelvic Parameter Evaluation.

Spinal-pelvic parameters are utilized in orthopedics for assessing patients' curvature and body alignment in diagnosing, treating, and planning surgeries for spinal and pelvic disorders. Segmenting and autodetecting the whole spine from lateral radiographs is challenging. Recent efforts have employed deep learning techniques to automate the segmentation and analysis of whole-spine lateral radiographs.

Deep Learning Algorithm for Tumor Segmentation and Discrimination of Clinically Significant Cancer in Patients with Prostate Cancer.

Background: We investigated the feasibility of a deep learning algorithm (DLA) based on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps for the segmentation and discrimination of clinically significant cancer (CSC, Gleason score ≥ 7) from non-CSC in patients with prostate cancer (PCa).

Methods: Data from a total of 149 consecutive patients who had undergone 3T-MRI and been pathologically diagnosed with PCa were initially collected. The labelled data (148 images for GS6, 580 images for GS7) were applied for tumor segmentation using a convolutional neural network (CNN).
