Abstract
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a disease with negative consequences and usually occurs in 3 vertebrae, disc and canal located in the lower back. In this region, the nerves in the canal can be exposed to pressure for various reasons, and diseases occur. Surgical operation is required to treat canal narrowing, and the exact location and size of the spinal stenosis is vital importance for the operation. The UNet model, which is an example of this network, can be further deeper using different deep learning networks. In this study, it is aimed to be the basis for the creation of a system that helps in the diagnosis of canal stenosis by using a deeper network. The ResUNET model, in which ResNet is used as the backbone, achieved an average IoU of 0.987. This result reveals that MR images can be used in segmentation for the diagnosis of Lumbar spinal stenosis.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the “Gazi University Journal of Science” comprises such as original research on all aspects of basic science, engineering and technology. Original research results, scientific reviews and short communication notes in various fields of science and technology are considered for publication. The publication language of the journal is English. Manuscripts previously published in another journal are not accepted. Manuscripts with a suitable balance of practice and theory are preferred. A review article is expected to give in-depth information and satisfying evaluation of a specific scientific or technologic subject, supported with an extensive list of sources. Short communication notes prepared by researchers who would like to share the first outcomes of their on-going, original research work are welcome.
