An algorithm was developed with MATLAB platform to automatically quantify the volume of cervical disc herniation (CDH) based on the sagittal magnetic resonance images. This automated program was used for CDH data set, and then compared with manual measurement results confirming its reliability. ⋯ Our developed automated volumetry system was an standardized and accurate way, with selective removal module of structure posterior vertebra, replaceable for manual volume measurement of CDH, which was useful for spinal surgeons diagnosing and treating CDH disease.

Review Case Reports
Cost-utility Analysis of Neoadjuvant Teriparatide Therapy in Osteopenic Patients Undergoing Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.
A cost-utility analysis study. ⋯ Neoadjuvant teriparatide is a cost-effective strategy to reduce postoperative complications in patients with osteopenia undergoing ASD surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Automated Segmentation of spinal Muscles from Upright Open MRI Using a Multi-Scale Pyramid 2D Convolutional Neural Network.
Randomized trial. ⋯ This study represents a fundamental step toward the development of an automated spinal muscle properties extraction pipeline, which will ultimately allow clinicians to have easier access to patient-specific simulations, diagnosis, and treatment.
