Critical spinal epidural pathologies can cause paralysis or death if untreated. Although magnetic resonance imaging is the preferred modality for visualizing these pathologies, computed tomography (CT) occurs far more commonly than magnetic resonance imaging in the clinical setting. ⋯ A machine learning model for identifying spinal epidural hematomas and abscesses on CT can be implemented in a clinical workflow.

Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ Initial adherence to prescribed AIS brace wear was associated with future adherence, bracing success, and curve improvement. Early recognition of nonadherence may offer an opportunity for supportive intervention to improve brace wear behavior.
