SpineNetV2: Automated Detection, Labelling and Radiological Grading Of Clinical MR Scans. ArXiv , abs/2205.01683 . The method employs a deep learning-based segmentation and classification pipeline to automatically detect vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs in MRI images. It assigns anatomical labels to detected structures (e.g., L1-L5 vertebrae) and uses trained classifiers to assess degenerative changes such as disc height loss, bulging, or herniation. By integrating multi-sequence MRI data, the model enhances workflow efficiency.

December 28 th , 2024 International University Department of Biomedical Engineering DIFFICULTIES - RESTRICTION When using YOLO to detect and assess the degree of lumbar disc spinal degradation, researchers face several significant challenges. First, distinguishing and locating each vertebra on the spine is a difficult task, as the vertebrae have similar sizes and shapes. Additionally, while YOLO has high performance in many object detection tasks, its accuracy may not be sufficient when applied to medical images, as medical objects often have more subtle features. Furthermore, collecting and labeling medical image data , including both normal and pathological cases, is a major challenge. Finally, YOLO requires extensive computational complexity , especially when processing high-resolution medical images, which can lead to issues with speed and efficiency. applications.
December 28 th , 2024 International University Department of Biomedical Engineering DISFINISHED GOALS Basically, if we do not take into account the dependencies, this project is really perfect. However, there are still tasks that our team has not completed: First, reducing the cost of hiring a training server is almost impossible because the operation of the built code takes up a large amount of space, the cost can be up to 20 dollars per hour. Second, the development of the project is still in the planning stage, I wonder if in the future I can put this model into a complete interface , similar to the structure of Slicer.
