Article Synopsis
- Trigger finger is a common hand condition caused by mismatched tendon and pulley sizes, which is diagnosed using ultrasound images that often suffer from noise and unclear boundaries.
- To address these challenges, researchers developed a computer-aided tool called D2FC-DN for accurately identifying finger tissues in ultrasound images, outperforming existing methods.
- This tool not only enhances the accuracy of trigger finger diagnosis but also has the potential to create models for training in ultrasound-guided surgical procedures.
Cobb Angle Measurement of Spine from X-Ray Images Using Convolutional Neural Network.

Scoliosis is a common spinal condition where the spine curves to the side and thus deforms the spine. Curvature estimation provides a powerful index to evaluate the deformation severity of scoliosis. In current clinical diagnosis, the standard curvature estimation method for assessing the curvature quantitatively is done by measuring the Cobb angle, which is the angle between two lines, drawn perpendicular to the upper endplate of the uppermost vertebra involved and the lower endplate of the lowest vertebra involved.

The sputum smear microscopy remains the primary diagnostic laboratory test. However, microscopic examination is always time-consuming and tedious.
