Interfaces

This algorithm implements all of the following input-output combinations:

Inputs Outputs
1
  • CT Image (Image)
  • Vertebral Body (Segmentation)
  • Generic Overlay (Heat Map)
  • Results JSON File (Anything)
  • Model Facts

    Summary

    This algorithm compares the shape of the vertebral body with the expected shape to calculate a Vertebral Abnormality Score. This score expresses how abnormal the vertebra looks and can be used to identify fractures.

    Please feel free to contact Nikolas Lessmann for help with trying out the algorithm, or if you would like to use it on a larger set of images.
