A computer vision approach to identifying the manufacturer and model of anterior cervical spinal hardware.

CONCLUSIONS: A computer vision algorithm was trained to classify at least 9 different types of anterior cervical fusion systems using relatively sparse data sets and was demonstrated to perform with high accuracy. This represents one of many potential clinical applications of machine learning and computer vision in neurosurgical practice.
