  • Analysis of scoliosis trunk deformities using ICA 

    Adankon, Mathias M.; Dansereau, Jean; Labelle, Hubert; Cheriet, Farida (2012-07-02)
    This paper describes a method for analyzing scoliosis trunk deformities using Independent Component Analysis (ICA). Our hypothesis is that ICA can capture the scoliosis deformities visible on the trunk. Unlike Principal Component Analysis (PCA), ICA ...
  • Non invasive classification system of scoliosis curve types using least-squares support vector machines 

    Adankon, Mathias M.; Dansereau, Jean; Labelle, Hubert; Cheriet, Farida (Elsevier, 2012-10-01)
    Objective To determine scoliosis curve types using non invasive surface acquisition, without prior knowledge from X-ray data. Methods Classification of scoliosis deformities according to curve type is used in the clinical management of scoliotic ...
  • Prediction of scoliosis curve type based on the analysis of trunk surface topography 

    Seoud, Lama; Adankon, Mathias M.; Labelle, Hubert; Dansereau, Jean; Cheriet, Farida (2010-04)
    Scoliosis treatment strategy is generally chosen according to the severity and type of the spinal curve. Currently, the curve type is determined from X-rays whose acquisition can be harmful for the patient. We propose in this paper a system that can ...
  • Scoliosis curve type classification from 3D trunk image 

    Adankon, Mathias M.; Dansereau, Jean; Parent, Stefan; Labelle, Hubert; Cheriet, Farida (2012-02-23)
    Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a deformity of the spine manifested by asymmetry and deformities of the external surface of the trunk. Classification of scoliosis deformities according to curve type is used to plan management of scoliosis ...
  • Scoliosis Follow-Up Using Noninvasive Trunk Surface Acquisition 

    Adankon, Mathias M.; Chihab, N; Dansereau, Jean; Labelle, Hubert; Cheriet, Farida (2013-03-13)
    Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a musculoskeletal pathology. It is a complex spinal curvature in a 3-D space that also affects the appearance of the trunk. The clinical follow-up of AIS is decisive for its management. Currently, the Cobb angle, ...
  • Towards Non Invasive Diagnosis of Scoliosis Using Semi-supervised Learning Approach 

    Seoud, Lama; Adankon, Mathias M.; Labelle, Hubert; Dansereau, Jean; Cheriet, Farida (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010)
    In this paper, a new methodology for the prediction of scoliosis curve types from non invasive acquisitions of the back surface of the trunk is proposed. One hundred and fifty-nine scoliosis patients had their back surface acquired in 3D using an optical ...
