This tool applies ML models to the analysis of DEXA images for measuring curvature at the upper (thoracic) spine (kyphosis), or bottom (lumbar) spine (lordosis).

The recommended build environment for the code is to have Anaconda installed and then to create a conda environment for python 3 as shown below:

conda create -n kypho python=3.7

Once created, activate the environment and install all the needed libraries as follows:

conda activate kypho
pip install -r requirements.txt

An example for a recommended invokation of the code, to measure kyphosis:

python spineCurve.py -i <dir of imgs> -o <out file> --aug_flip --aug_tilt 0.5

...or to measure lordosis:

python spineCurve.py -i <dir of imgs> -o <out file> --aug_flip --aug_tilt 0.5 --lumbar
