• Title: Predicting Spine Geometry and Scoliosis from DXA Scans
• Authors: Amir Jamaludin, Timor Kadir, Emma Clark, Andrew Zisserman
• Abstract summary: We first train a neural network to predict the middle spine curve in the scan, and then use an integral-based method to determine the curvature along the spine curve. We show that the maximum curvature can be used as a scoring function for ordering the severity of spinal deformation.

• Abstract: Our objective in this paper is to estimate spine curvature in DXA scans. To this end we first train a neural network to predict the middle spine curve in the scan, and then use an integral-based method to determine the curvature along the spine curve. We use the curvature to compare to the standard angle scoliosis measure obtained using the DXA Scoliosis Method (DSM). The performance improves over the prior work of Jamaludin et al. 2018. We show that the maximum curvature can be used as a scoring function for ordering the severity of spinal deformation.

  Measurement of scoliosis requires labeling and identification of vertebrae in the spine. Scoliosis is a congenital disease in which the spine is deformed from its normal shape.

  We propose a novel vertebra-focused landmark detection method. Our model first localizes the vertebra centers, based on which it then traces the four corner landmarks of the vertebra through the learned corner offset. Results demonstrate the merits of our method in both Cobb angle measurement and landmark detection on low-contrast and ambiguous X-ray images.
