*Includes a Foreword by renowed spine surgeons Alexander Vaccaro and Max Aebi*
- Helps readers better understanding spinal phenotypes and their imaging, and how today’s knowledge will facilitate new targeted drug discovery, novel diagnostics and biomarker discovery, and outcome predictions.
- Features step-by-step instructions on performing the radiographic measurements with examples of normal and pathologic images to demonstrate the various presentations.
- Presents clinical correlation of the phenotypes as well as the radiographic measurements with landmark references.
- Includes validated classification systems that complement the phenotypes and radiographic measurements.
- Complies the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Dino Samartzis, the preeminent global authority on spinal phenotypes who has discovered and proposed new phenotypes and classification schemes; Dr. Howard S. An, a leading expert in patient management and at the forefront of 3D imaging of various spinal phenotypes; and Dr. Philip Louie, a prolific surgeon who is involved in one of the largest machine learning initiatives of spinal phenotyping.
