Tracking Lumbar Vertebrae in Digital Videofluoroscopic Video Automatically
Low back pain becomes one of the significant problem in the industrialized world. Efficient and effective spinal motion analysis is required to understand low back pain and to aid the diagnosis. Videofluoroscopy provides a cost effective way for such analysis. However, common approaches are tedious and time consuming due to the low quality of the images. Physicians have to extract the vertebrae...
متن کاملAutomatic Lumbar Vertebrae Segmentation in Fluoroscopic Images via Optimised Concurrent Hough Transform
Low back pain is a very common problem in the industrialised countries and its associated cost is enormous. Diagnosis of the underlying causes can be extremely difficult. Many studies have focused on mechanical disorders of the spine. Digital videofluoroscopy (DVF) was widely used to obtain images for motion studies. This can provide motion sequences of the lumbar spine, but the images obtained...
متن کاملAutomatic Lumbar Vertebrae Segmentation in Fluoroscopic Images via a New Parallel Hough Transform
Low back pain is a very common problem and the consequent cost is enormous. In spite of the prevalence, however, it is still difficult to obtain accurate diagnostics. Mechanical disorder is now often regarded as the main cause. Presently, a number of studies are directed at measurement of spine kinematics. Since the lumbar spine is a deep-rooted structure, this has been difficult until digital ...
متن کاملFully Automatic Segmentation of Lumbar Vertebrae from CT Images using Cascaded 3D Fully Convolutional Networks
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. More specifically, in the first step we train a regression 3D FCN (we call it “LocalizationNet”) to find the bounding box of ...
متن کاملCongenital lumbar vertebrae agenesis in a lamb
Congenital agenesis of lumbar vertebrae was diagnosed in a day-old female lamb based on radiology and clinical examinations. There was no neurological deficit in hindlimb and forelimb associated with standing disability. Radiography of the abdominal region revealed absence of lumbar vertebrae. Necropsy confirmed clinical and radiographic results. No other anomaly or agenesis was seen macroscopi...
