Open AccessComparison of paraspinal muscle composition measurements using IDEAL fat–water and T2-weighted MR images
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the agreement between paraspinal muscle composition measurements obtained from fat–water images using % fat-signal fraction (%FSF) in comparison to those obtained from...

How Inter-rater Variability Relates to Aleatoric and Epistemic Uncertainty: A Case Study with Deep Learning-Based Paraspinal Muscle Segmentation
Recent developments in deep learning (DL) techniques have led to great performance improvement in medical image segmentation tasks, especially with the latest Transformer model and its variants. While labels f...

Joint Paraspinal Muscle Segmentation and Inter-rater Labeling Variability Prediction with Multi-task TransUNet
Recent studies have associated morphological and composition changes in paraspinal muscles with low back pain (LBP), which is the most common, but poorly understood musculoskeletal disorder in adults. Accurate...

Open AccessThe effects of combined motor control and isolated extensor strengthening versus general exercise on paraspinal muscle morphology and function in patients with chronic low back pain: a randomised controlled trial protocol
Exercise is a common approach for the management of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (LBP). However, there is no clear mechanistic evidence or consensus on what type of exercise is more effecti...
