Description

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is routinely quantified on standing coronal radiographs using the Cobb angle; however, manual measurement is time-consuming and subject to intra-observer variability. We propose SpineNET, a lightweight, interpretable keypoint-based framework for automated scoliosis assessment on standing whole-spine posteroanterior (PA) radiographs.
