Neurological structures extraction and analysis for spinal disease diagnosis and intervention

31 pairs of spinal nerves, containing both sensory and motor nerve fibers, serves two important
functions: pathway for sensory, motor impulses and are essential for spinal reflexes. Damage of spinal
nerves has been one of the major concerns in diagnosis, treatment and spinal intervention. This project
proposes to promptly and accurately extract neurological structures from MRI images. Once achieved,
the partner organizations can use this for surgical planning and treatment. It will greatly improve their
efficiency and reduce complications during surgical interventions.
