OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) algorithm for the quantitative measurement of thoracolumbar (TL) fracture features, and to evaluate its efficacy across varying levels of clinical expertise. METHODS: Using the pretrained Mask Region-Based Convolutional Neural Networks model, originally developed for vertebral body segmentation and fracture detection, we fine-tuned the model and added a new module for measuring fracture metrics-compression rate (CR), Cobb angle (CA), Gardner angle (GA), and sagittal index (SI)-from lumbar spine lateral radiographs...
