Severity Classification of Pediatric Spinal Cord Injuries Using Structural MRI Measures and Deep Learning: A Comprehensive Analysis across All Vertebral Levels [ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE]

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) in the pediatric population presents a unique challenge in diagnosis and prognosis due to the complexity of performing clinical assessments on children. Accurate evaluation of structural changes in the spinal cord is essential for effective treatment planning. This study aims to evaluate structural characteristics in pediatric patients with SCI by comparing cross-sectional area (CSA), anterior-posterior (AP) width, and right-left (RL) width across…
