A fully autonomous AI system for accurate and reproducible Cobb angle measurement in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a multicenter study
SPARC removes the intraobserver error and inter-observer variability inherent to manual measurements, and significantly decreases radiograph measurement and interpretation times, thus supporting clinicians in patient management and providing a reliable tool for less experienced practitioners involved in the care of patients at all stages of the AIS journey.
