A deep learning model for detection of cervical spinal cord compression in MRI scans

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evidence of spinal cord compression plays a central role in the diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). There is growing recognition that deep learning models may assist in addressing the increasing volume of medical imaging data and provide ini...
