A rule-based method to automatically locate lumbar vertebral bodies on MRI images
The proposed method successfully achieves robust and accurate automatic placement of points within each lumbar vertebral body. The automation of this process enables the transition from semi-automatic to fully automatic methods, thus reducing error-prone and time-consuming user interaction, and facilitating the creation of training datasets for ML-based solutions.
