ABS0910 DEVELOPMENT OF A DEEP LEARNING-BASED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOL FOR AUTOMATED mSASSS CALCULATION IN ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease characterized by progressive and irreversible functional impairment. Radiographic progression in AS is commonly quantified using the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS), which evaluates 24 spinal levels based on radiographic changes in the cervical and lumbar spine [1]. This process requires specialized expertise and involves a time-intensive manual assessment, limiting its routine clinical application.
