Attention-based Shape-Deformation Networks for Artifact-Free Geometry Reconstruction of Lumbar Spine from MR Images [PDF]
Lumbar disc degeneration, a progressive structural wear and tear of lumbar intervertebral disc, is regarded as an essential role on low back pain, a significant global health concern. Automated lumbar spine geometry reconstruction from MR images will enable fast measurement of medical parameters to evaluate the lumbar status, in order to determine a ...

Fully Automatic Segmentation of Lumbar Vertebrae from CT Images using Cascaded 3D Fully Convolutional Networks [PDF]
We present a method to address the challenging problem of segmentation of lumbar vertebrae from CT images acquired with varying fields of view. Our method is based on cascaded 3D Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) consisting of a localization FCN and a segmentation FCN.

Distinct cerebral cortical perfusion patterns in idiopathic normal‐pressure hydrocephalus
The present study investigates cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cortical thickness using surface‐based analysis of early‐phase 18F‐florbetaben PET and MRI in patients with idiopathic normal‐pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). INPH patients had significantly increased CBF with a concomitant increase in cortical thickness in areas located in the high convexity ...

Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture (OVF) was associated with poor long‐term outcomes in patients with HCC after hepatic resection. Osteopenic OVF had a poorer prognosis than that of patients with either osteopenia or OVF. Abstract Background Although osteopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ...
