Computer-Aided Cobb Measurement Based on Automatic Detection of Vertebral Slopes Using Deep Neural Network

Objective. To develop a computer-aided method that reduces the variability of Cobb angle measurement for scoliosis assessment. Methods. A deep neural network (DNN) was trained with vertebral patches extracted from spinal model radiographs. The Cobb angle of the spinal curve was calculated automatica...
