A structurally and functionally biomimetic biphasic scaffold for intervertebral disc tissue engineering. [PDF]
, 2015 Tissue engineering offers high hopes for the treatment of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. Whereas scaffolds of the disc nucleus and annulus have been extensively studied, a truly biomimetic and mechanically functional biphasic scaffold using ...

SPINEPS -- Automatic Whole Spine Segmentation of T2-weighted MR images using a Two-Phase Approach to Multi-class Semantic and Instance Segmentation [PDF]
Purpose. To present SPINEPS, an open-source deep learning approach for semantic and instance segmentation of 14 spinal structures (ten vertebra substructures, intervertebral discs, spinal cord, spinal canal, and sacrum) in whole body T2w MRI. Methods.

Measurement of intervertebral cervical motion by means of dynamic X-ray image processing and data interpolation [PDF]
, 2013 Accurate measurement of intervertebral kinematics of the cervical spine can support the diagnosis of widespread diseases related to neck pain, such chronic whiplash dysfunction, arthritis, segmental degeneration. The natural inaccessibility of the spine,

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1464-1477, May 2025.This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet

Self-Supervised Learning for Spinal MRIs [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 A significant proportion of patients scanned in a clinical setting have follow-up scans. We show in this work that such longitudinal scans alone can be used as a form of 'free' self-supervision for training a deep network. We demonstrate this self-supervised learning for the case of T2-weighted sagittal lumbar Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs).

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.To compare the long‐term clinical and radiographic outcomes of the TMC and the n‐HA/PA66 cage for anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion in the treatment of lower cervical spine fractures and dislocations. The n‐HA/PA66 cage may be superior to TMC in anterior cervical construction within 8 years after the operation.
