Convolutional Neural Network for the Detection of Cervical Myelomalacia

Deep learning technology has been used increasingly in spine surgery as well as in many medical fields. However, it is noticed that most of the studies about this subject in the literature have been conducted except of the cervical spine. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the deep learning algorithm in the diagnosis of cervical myelomalacia compared to conventional diagnostic methods. Artificial neural networks, a machine learning technique, have been used in several industrial and research fields increasingly. The development of computational units and the increasing amount of data led to the development of new methods on artificial neural networks
