Description
The era of big data and personalized spine care has arrived. Within that, imaging and clinical phenotypes are key in establishing personalized algorithms for patient care. This is particularly important in developing novel diagnostics and therapeutics as well as predicting outcomes and establishing preventative measures for various spinal disorders. Spine Phenotypes is a comprehensive resource that outlines phenotype descriptions, their imaging measurements and classifications, and provides an in-depth discussion regarding spine pathology and its clinical relevance.Multiauthored, with multidisciplinary contributions from world leaders in the field of imaging, spine research, and clinical practice, each chapter is rich in visual depiction of imaging phenotypes, providing examples of some established phenotypic measurements with a range of normal and pathologic images and their clinical implications.Spine Phenotypes will be a first of its kind reference for spine researchers, clinicians, and industry.- Book chapters devoted to specific imaging phenotypes with discussion of their clinical correlates- Imaging phenotypes provided with examples of established phenotypic measurements and a range of normal and pathologic images- Multiauthor, multidisciplinary contributions comprising world leaders in the field of spine imaging, research, and clinical practice
