Cryptic complexity in felid vertebral evolution: shape differentiation and allometry of the axial skeleton [PDF]
Members of the mammalian family Felidae (extant and extinct cats) are grossly phenotypically similar, but display a 300-fold range in body size, from less than 1 kg to more than 300 kg.

Evaluation of radiography as a screening method for detection and characterisation of congenital vertebral malformations in dogs [PDF]
Congenital vertebral malformations (CVM) are common in brachycephalic ‘screw-tailed’ dogs; they can be associated with neurological deficits and a genetic predisposition has been suggested.

Despite many decades of studies, our knowledge of skeletal development in birds is limited in many aspects. One of them is the development of the vertebral column. For many years it was widely believed that the column ossifies anteroposteriorly. However,

Sex estimation on thoracic vertebrae: A systematic review
Background: Sex determination is the crucial stage for developing a biological profile during the investigation of skeletal remains. An accurate determination of the sex of the unknown person is crucial by only a few bones or when multiple bones are ...

Accurate Scoliosis Vertebral Landmark Localization on X-ray Images via Shape-constrained Multi-stage Cascaded CNNs [PDF]
Vertebral landmark localization is a crucial step for variant spine-related clinical applications, which requires detecting the corner points of 17 vertebrae. However, the neighbor landmarks often disturb each other for the homogeneous appearance of vertebrae, which makes vertebral landmark localization extremely difficult.
