Fully automated measurement on coronal alignment of lower limbs using deep convolutional neural networks on radiographic images

Abstract Background A deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) system is proposed to measure the lower limb parameters of the mechanical lateral distal femur angle (mLDFA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), lateral distal tibial angle (LDTA), joint line convergence angle (JLCA), and mechanical ax...
