Purpose The aim of this work is to propose a classification algorithm to automatically detect treatment for scoliosis (brace, implant or no treatment) in postero-anterior radiographs. Such automatic labelling of radiographs could represent a step towards global automatic radiological analysis. Methods Seven hundred and ninety-six frontal radiographies of adolescents were collected (84 patients wearing a brace, 325 with a spinal implant and 387 reference images with no treatment). The dataset was augmented to a total of 2096 images. A classification model was built, composed by a forward convolutional neural network (CNN) followed by a discriminant analysis; the output was a probability for a given image to contain a brace, a spinal implant or none. The model was validated with a stratified tenfold cross-validation procedure. Performance was estimated by calculating the average accuracy. Results 98.3% of the radiographs were correctly classified as either reference, brace or implant, excluding 2.0% unclassified images. 99.7% of brace radiographs were correctly detected, while most of the errors occurred in the reference group (i.e. 2.1% of reference images were wrongly classified). Conclusion The proposed classification model, the originality of which is the coupling of a CNN with discriminant analysis, can be used to automatically label radiographs for the presence of scoliosis treatment. This information is usually missing from DICOM metadata, so such method could facilitate the use of large databases. Furthermore, the same model architecture could potentially be applied for other radiograph classifications, such as sex and presence of scoliotic deformity.
