After synthetic augmentation, 70% of these radiographs were used for network training, while the remaining 30% were used for hyperparameter optimization. A computer vision algorithm was deployed on the segmented radiographs to calculate lumbar lordosis angles. A test set of radiographs was used to evaluate the validity of the entire pipeline (n = 151).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The U-Net segmentation achieved a test dataset dice score of 0.821, an area under the receiver operating curve of 0.914, and an accuracy of 0.862. The computer vision algorithm identified the L1 and S1 vertebrae on 84.1% of the test set with an average speed of 0.14 seconds\/radiograph. From the 151 test set radiographs, 50 were randomly chosen for surgeon measurement. When compared with those measurements, our algorithm achieved a mean absolute error of 8.055\u00b0 and a median absolute error of 6.965\u00b0 (not statistically significant, P &gt; .05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study is the first to use artificial intelligence and computer vision in a combined pipeline to rapidly measure a sagittal spinopelvic parameter without prior manual surgeon input. The pipeline measures angles with no statistically significant differences from manual measurements by surgeons. This pipeline offers clinical utility in an assistive capacity, and future work should focus on improving segmentation network performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2192568219868190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,13]],"date-time":"2019-08-13T23:50:44Z","timestamp":1565740244000},"page":"611-618","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["Automated Measurement of Lumbar Lordosis on Radiographs Using Machine Learning and Computer Vision"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Brian H.","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Brian H.
