Purpose: Spina bifida occulta (SBO), which is the most common congenital spinal deformity, is often seen in the lower lumbar spine and sacrum. In this study, it is aimed to develop a computer-aided diagnosis method that will help clinicians in the diagnosis of spina bifida occulta from plain pelvic radiographs with deep learning methods and transfer learning method. Materials and methods: The You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm was used for object detection, and classification was made by applying transfer learning with a pre-trained VGG-19, ResNet-101, MobileNetV2, and GoogLeNet networks. Our dataset consisted of 206 normal lumbosacral radiographs and 160 SBO lumbosacral radiographs. The performance of the models was evaluated by metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1 score, and area under the ROC curve (AUC) results. Results: In the detection of SBO, 85.5%, 80.8%, 89.7%, 87.5%, 84%, and 0.92 accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1 score, and AUC results were obtained with the pre-trained VGG-19 model, respectively. The pre-trained VGG-19 model performed better than the others. Conclusion: Successful results were obtained in this study performed to the diagnosis of SBO with deep learning methods. A model that will assist physicians in the diagnosis of SBO can be developed with new studies to be conducted with a large number of spinal radiographs.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to differentiate normal cervical graphs and graphs of diseases that cause mechanical neck pain by using deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) technology. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, the convolutional neural networks were used and transfer learning method was applied with the pre-trained VGG-16, VGG-19, Resnet-101, and DenseNet-201 networks. Our data set consisted of 161 normal lateral cervical radiographs and 170 lateral cervical radiographs with osteoarthritis and cervical degenerative disc disease. Results: We compared the performances of the classification models in terms of performance metrics such as accuracy,

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic ability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural network models used for image classification, for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) using hip radiographs. Materials and methods: Between January 2010 and December 2020, pelvic radiographs of a total of 516 patients (270 males, 246 females; mean age: 39.1 +/- 3.8 years; range, 20 to 78 years) with hip pain were retrospectively analyzed. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 888 hip radiographs (308 diagnosed with FAI and 508 considered normal) were evaluated using deep learning methods. Pre-trained VGG-16, ResNet-101, MobileNetV2, and Inceptionv3 models were used for transfer learning. Results: As assessed by performance measures such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F-1 score, and area under the curve (AUC), the VGG-16 model outperformed other pre-trained networks in diagnosing FAI. With the pre-trained VGG-16 model, the results showed 86.6% accuracy, 82.5% sensitivity, 89.6% specificity, 85.5% precision, 83.9% F1 score, and 0.92 AUC. Conclusion: In patients with suspected FAI, pelvic radiography is the first imaging method to be applied, and deep learning methods can help in the diagnosis of this syndrome.
