Spine

Spine radiographs are key to assess preoperative planning for spinal deformity surgery. As of now, several manual tasks are needed to extract key measurements from these images.  Surgeons’ time is precious and could be better allocated than manually segmenting spines.

In partnership with Surgimap (Globus Medical), a software dedicated to orthopedic surgeons, and the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, DESKi developed deep learning tools to automatically segment the spine and extract its spinopelvic parameters.
