Cervical Spine Kinematics Database from Fluoroscopic Imaging

Branney, Jonathan (Jonny), Breen, Alex and Breen, Alan (2024) Cervical Spine Kinematics Database from Fluoroscopic Imaging.

This dataset includes kinematic measures derived from high-resolution fluoroscopic imaging of cervical vertebrae during controlled motion tasks. Key Features: Data Formats: Available in MATLAB (.mat) and Excel formats. Detailed Data: Includes participant age and sex, and radiation dose. Kinematic Measures: Vertebral body positions, Vertebral angles, intervertebral translation, and disc height using methods by Frobin et al. Imaging Details: Derived from 1024x1024 16-bit images at 15 frames per second. Data Collection Protocol: Participants performed flexion and extension movements using a motorised motion frame during fluoroscopic imaging, ensuring precise alignment. Applications: Ideal for research on cervical spine motion, spinal manipulation effects, and biomechanical modelling.
