Deep learning-based automated segmentation and quantification of the dural sac cross-sectional area in lumbar spine MRI

IntroductionLumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a critical role in diagnosing and planning treatment for spinal conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal canal stenosis, and disc herniation. Measuring the cross-sectional area of the dural sac (DSCA) is a key factor in eval...
