Figure 4: Sagittal MR image shows entire spine with autolabeled intervertebral disks (yellow). The red dot corresponds to the manual assignment of the C2-3 centroid. The vertebrae themselves may also be autolabeled (labeling omitted here for clarity). Additionally, given the three-dimensional coordinates generated by the algorithm, disks or vertebral bodies can also be labeled in any subsequent imaging plane, provided no gross interimaging patient movement has occurred.
