Automatic measurement of the Cobb angle for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using convolutional neural network

Abstract This study proposes a convolutional neural network method for automatic vertebrae detection and Cobb angle (CA) measurement on X-ray images for scoliosis. 1021 full-length X-ray images of the whole spine of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) were used for training and segme...
