Simulating Federated Learning to Enable Multi‐Hospital Collaboration for Lumbopelvic Alignment Estimation
This work highlights FL as a viable solution for collaborative AI development in spinal imaging, facilitating the use of diverse, multi-institutional data while circumventing privacy barriers and complex data-sharing agreements. Additionally, FL demonstrates particular benefits for smaller hospitals, enabling them to achieve superior model performance by effectively leveraging data from hospitals with larger datasets.
