Automatic Cobb angle determination from radiographic images.
STUDY DESIGN Automatic measurement of Cobb angle in patients with scoliosis. OBJECTIVE To test the accuracy of an automatic Cobb angle determination method from frontal radiographical images. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Thirty-six frontal radiographical images of patients with scoliosis. METHODS A modified charged particle model is used to determine the curvature on radiographical spinal i...
متن کاملA Semi-Automatic Algorithm for Estimating Cobb Angle
Background: Scoliosis is the most common type of spinal deformity. A universal and standard method for evaluating scoliosis is Cobb angle measurement, but several studies have shown that there is intra- and inter- observer variation in measuring cobb angle manually.Objective: Develop a computer- assisted system to decrease operator-dependent errors in Cobb angle measurement.Methods: The spinal ...
متن کاملAutomatic Cobb Angle Measurement System by Using Nuclear Medicine Whole Body Bone Scan
Evaluation of scoliosis is performed traditionally by means of standing posterior-anterior radiographs of the full spine to assess lateral curvature with the Cobb method. In this paper, we present a new automatic algorithm to measure Cobb angle by using nuclear medicine whole body bone scan images. Our algorithm design is based on the fuzzy sets histogram thresholding, anatomical knowledge-base...
متن کاملA Comparison of Cobb Angle: Standing Versus Supine Images of Late-Onset Idiopathic Scoliosis
BACKGROUND Scoliosis is traditionally evaluated by measuring the Cobb angle in radiograph images taken while the patient is standing. However, low-dose computed tomography (CT) images, which are taken while the patient is in a supine position, provide new opportunities to evaluate scoliosis. Few studies have investigated how the patient's position, standing or supine, affects measurements. The ...
متن کاملScalable edge enhancement with automatic optimization for digital radiographic images
The ability to resolve 2ne picture detail is of paramount importance in medical imaging systems for viewing small tissue, bone structure and anatomy in X-ray images. In this paper, we present a new digital radiographic image processing system with the property of scalability and adaptability. (i) A new automatic optimization algorithm is proposed for display. (ii) An adaptive detection of a reg...
