摘要
Purpose Sagittal balance (SB) plays an important role in the surgical treatment of spinal disorders. The aim of this research study is to provide a detailed evaluation of a new, fully automated algorithm based on artificial intelligence (AI) for the determination of SB parameters on a large number of patients with and without instrumentation. Methods Pre- and postoperative sagittal full body radiographs of 170 patients were measured by two human raters, twice by one rater and by the AI algorithm which determined: pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, L1-S1 lordosis, T4-T12 thoracic kyphosis (TK) and the spino-sacral angle (SSA). To evaluate the agreement between human raters and AI, the mean error (95% confidence interval (CI)), standard deviation and an intra- and inter-rater reliability was conducted using intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficients. Results ICC values for the assessment of the intra- (range: 0.88–0.97) and inter-rater (0.86–0.97) reliability of human raters are excellent. The algorithm is able to determine all parameters in 95% of all pre- and in 91% of all postoperative images with excellent ICC values (PreOP-range: 0.83–0.91, PostOP: 0.72–0.89). Mean errors are smallest for the SSA (PreOP: −0.1° (95%-CI: −0.9°–0.6°); PostOP: −0.5° (−1.4°–0.4°)) and largest for TK (7.0° (6.1°–7.8°); 7.1° (6.1°–8.1°)). Conclusion A new, fully automated algorithm that determines SB parameters has excellent reliability and agreement with human raters, particularly on preoperative full spine images. The presented solution will relieve physicians from time-consuming routine work of measuring SB parameters and allow the analysis of large databases efficiently.
