A deep learning tool matches Dixon imaging for paraspinal fat fraction quantification from standard MRI. The more clinically important finding: most of the relationship between muscle degeneration and disability operates through muscle endurance, not structural change directly.
Fracture healing assessment on serial X-rays is more subjective than it looks. A deep learning framework using YOLOv11 tracks callus formation and fracture-line changes across follow-up, with its clearest advantage at early postoperative stages when human reader agreement is lowest.
Evidence-reviewed. Citations throughout. Degenerative cervical myelopathy is the most common cause of non-traumatic spinal cord injury in adults and one of the most consequential diagnoses to miss. The pathology is progressive, the window for intervention matters, and the early signs on MRI — subtle cord signal change, mild compression at a single level — are … Read more
