The cervical spine is a highly flexible anatomy and therefore vulnerable to injuries.
Unfortunately, a large number of injuries in lateral cervical X-ray images remain …

Videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS) capture the complex anatomy and physiology
contributing to bolus transport and airway protection during swallowing. While clinical …

Quantitative measurements of spine shape parameters on planar X-rays is critical for clinical
applications, but remains tedious and with no fully automated solution demonstrated on the …

X-ray is a common modality for diagnosing cervical vertebrae injuries. Many injuries are
missed by emergency physicians which later causes life threatening complications …

Corners hold vital information about size, shape and morphology of a vertebra in an x-ray
image, and recent literature (Al-Arif et al., 2015)[1, 2] has shown promising performance for …

Real-time motion assessment of the cervical spine provides an understanding of its
mechanics and reveals abnormalities in its motion patterns. In this paper we propose a …

3D reconstruction of the spine using biplanar X-rays remains approximate and sometimes
requires human-machine interactions to adjust the position of important features such as …

An enhanced version of a segmentation algorithm applied in X‐ray images using a prior
shape and a straightened boundary image (SBI) is proposed. In the SBI method, the …

Injuries in cervical spine X-ray images are often missed by emergency physicians. Many of
these missing injuries cause further complications. Automated analysis of the images has …

In order to solve the tedious and time-consuming works for CT scan planning manually, we
proposed an automatic detection method of vertebrae in CT scout images. In this method …
