Intervertebral discs (IVDs) are small joints that lie between adjacent vertebrae. The
localization and segmentation of IVDs are important for spine disease diagnosis and …

Recent advances in high resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the spine provide
a basis for the automated assessment of intervertebral disc (IVD) and vertebral body (VB) …

Lumbar spine segmentation is important to help doctors diagnose lumbar disc herniation
(LDH) and patients' rehabilitation treatment. In order to accurately segment the lumbar spine …
