An automatic measurement method of spinal curvature on ultrasound coronal images in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

This study proposed a new automatic measurement method of spinal curvature on ultrasound coronal images in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). After preprocessing of Gaussian enhancement, the symmetric information of the image was extracted using the phase congruency. Then bony features were segm...
