Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate Cobb angle measurement is essential in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), but evidence on artificial intelligence (AI) performance in pediatric patients, especially with severe curves, is limited. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the accuracy of a commercially available deep learning software in measuring Cobb angles in surgical cases of AIS and compared its performance wi…
