• Title: SpineNetV2: Automated Detection, Labelling and Radiological Grading Of Clinical MR Scans
• Authors: Rhydian Windsor, Amir Jamaludin, Timor Kadir and Andrew Zisserman
• Abstract summary: SpineNetV2 is an automated tool which detects and labels vertebral bodies in clinical spinal magnetic resonance (MR) scans. It also performs radiological grading of lumbar intervertebral discs in T2-weighted scans for a range of common degenerative changes.

• Abstract: This technical report presents SpineNetV2, an automated tool which: (i) detects and labels vertebral bodies in clinical spinal magnetic resonance (MR) scans across a range of commonly used sequences; and (ii) performs radiological grading of lumbar intervertebral discs in T2-weighted scans for a range of common degenerative changes. SpineNetV2 improves over the original SpineNet software in two ways: (1) The vertebral body detection stage is significantly faster, more accurate and works across a range of fields-of-view (as opposed to just lumbar scans). (2) Radiological grading adopts a more powerful architecture, adding several new grading schemes without loss in performance. A demo of the software is available at the project website: http://zeus.robots.ox.ac.uk/spinenet2/.

  The goal of this study was to develop an automatic method for the semantic segmentation of spinal nerve rootlets from T2-weighted MRI scans. Images from two open-access MRI datasets were used to train a 3D convolutional neural network using an active learning approach to segment C2-C8 dorsal nerve rootlets. The method was tested on 3T T2-weighted images from datasets unseen during training to assess inter-site, inter-session, and inter-resolution variability.

  manually grading structural changes with the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) on spinal X-ray imaging is costly and time-consuming. We propose a 2-step auto-grading pipeline, called VertXGradeNet, to automatically predict mSASSS scores for the cervical and lumbar vertebral units (VUs) in X-ray spinal imaging.

  This paper proposes a novel transformer-based model architecture for medical imaging problems involving analysis of vertebrae. It considers two applications of such models in MR images: (a) detection of spinal metastases and the related conditions of vertebral fractures and metastatic cord compression. We show that by considering the context of vertebral bodies in the image, SCT improves the accuracy for several gradings compared to previously published model.

  We propose a one-stage detection framework termed SpineOne to simultaneously localize and classify degenerative discs and vertebrae from MRI slices. SpineOne is built upon the following three key techniques: 1) a new design of the keypoint heatmap to facilitate simultaneous keypoint localization and classification; 2) the use of attention modules to better differentiate the representations between discs and vertebrae; and 3) a novel gradient-guided objective association mechanism to associate multiple learning objectives at the later training stage.

We introduce a multi-modal image-matching contrastive framework, that is able to learn to match different-modality scans of the same subject with high accuracy. Without any adaption, we show that the correspondences learnt during this contrastive training step can be used to perform automatic cross-modal scan registration.
