Towards Automatic Scoring of Spinal X-ray for Ankylosing Spondylitis. (arXiv:2308.05123v1 [eess.IV])
cs.CV updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
Manually grading structural changes with the modified Stoke Ankylosing
Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) on spinal X-ray imaging is costly and
time-consuming due to bone shape complexity and image quality variations. In
this study, we address this challenge by prototyping a 2-step auto-grading
pipeline, called VertXGradeNet, to automatically predict mSASSS scores for the
cervical and lumbar vertebral units (VUs) in X-ray spinal imaging. The
VertXGradeNet utilizes VUs generated by our previously developed VU extraction
pipeline (VertXNet) as input and predicts mSASSS …
