In JOR Spine we trained a U-Net model for slice-wise segmentation of discs from 3D T1-weighted MRI. Performance was equivalent to manual segmentation, DSC = 0.93, for degeneration grades I–IV. The final trained model is available to for scientific use. doi.org/10.1002/jsp2.7…

👏 We are thrilled to announce the inaugural selection of the BethelMRC and ORS Fellowship. After a rigorous selection, 5 researchers have demonstrated exceptional potential in advancing the field of #mskresearch. Congrats to our 2024 fellows! Learn more: bit.ly/49uDIy2

How can you slow intervertebral disc degeneration in patients who have received percutaneous vertebroplasty for vertebral fracture? Recent work published in JOR Spine suggests that a uniform distribution of bone cement can reduce stress on the IVD #ORSSMC buff.ly/4gcUZPM
