Reliability Analysis of Vertebral Landmark Labelling on Lumbar Spine X-ray Images.

ABSTRACT: Vertebral landmark labelling on X-ray images is important for objective and quantitative diagnosis. Most studies related to the reliability of labelling focus on the Cobb angle, and it is difficult to find studies describing landmark point locations. Since points are the most fundamental geometric feature that can generate lines and angles, the assessment of landmark point locations is essential. The aim of this study is to provide a reliability analysis of landmark points and vertebral endplate lines with a large number of lumbar spine X-ray images. A total of 1000 pairs of anteroposterior and lateral view lumbar spine images were prepared, and 12 manual medicine experts participated in the labelling process as raters. A standard operating procedure (SOP) was proposed by consensus of the
