Automatic Spinal Deformity Detection by Two Characteristic Axes

چکیده
line of human and the other axis is the principal This paper proposes a technique for judging spinal deformity from a moire image of a human back. The middle line and the principal axes of the back are extracted from the moire image and their difference is numerically evaluated. For the extraction of the middle line, the potential symmetry analysis technique is employed, whereas the principal axes are obtained from the moment of inertia matrix defined on the moire image. Experimental results are given and some issues are discussed.

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 ...

Spinal deformity is a disease mainly suffered by teenagers during their growth stage particularly from element school to middle school. There are many different causes of abnormal spinal curves, but all of them are unknown. The most common type is termed “idiopathic” that show 80% of the spinal deformity. Spinal deformity is a serious disease, mainly suffered by teenagers, especially girl’s stu...

Background & Importance: Spinal deformity is one of the most common disorders among the vertebral diseases that results from unnatural curvatures of spine, such as scoliosis and kyphosis. Spinal fusion surgery is used most commonly to treat certain types of spinal deformity. Herein, we reported the efficacy of posterior spinal fusion accompanied by instrumentation in patients with the...
متن کاملAutomatic Judgment of Spinal Deformity Based on Back Propagation on Neural Network
Spinal deformity is a serious disease, mainly suffered by teenagers during their growth stage. In this paper, we propose a new technique for an automatic judgment method of spinal deformity from moire topographic images. Normally the moire stripes show a symmetric pattern, as a human subject is almost symmetric. According to the progress of the deformity of a spine, asymmetry becomes larger. Me...
متن کاملAutomatic Judgement of Spinal Deformity from Moire Images Employing Asymmetry of Local Centroids Location
A technique is described for classifying abnormal cases and normal cases in automatic spinal deformity analysis by computer based on moire topographic images of human backs. Displacement of local centroids is evaluated statistically between the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the moire images. The technique was applied to real subjects images in order to draw a distinction between 60 ...
