Measurements of cervical vertebrae were made on coronal, axial and sagittal section. 6 different combinations (Group 1: C3 - C4, Group 2: C3 - C5, Group 3: C3 - C6, Group 4: C4 - C5, Group 5: C4 - C6, Group 6: C5 - C6) were formed with parameters of each vertebrae and they were analyzed in ML algorithms. Accuracy (Acc), Matthews correlation coefficient (Mcc), Specificity (Spe), Sensitivity (Sen) values were obtained as a result of the analysis.Results: As a result of this study, the highest success was obtained with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Logistic Regression (LR) algorithms. The highest Acc rate was found as 0.94 with LDA and LR algorithm in Groups 3 and Group 4, the highest Spe value was found as 0.95 with LDA and LR algorithm in Group 5, the highest Mcc value was found as 0.90 with LDA and LR algorithm in Group 5 and the highest Sen value was found as 0.94 with LDA and LR algorithm in Groups 3 and 5. Conclusions: As a conclusion, it was found that typical cervical vertebrae can be distinguished from each other with high accuracy by using ML algorithms.en10.18521/ktd.1177279info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTypical Cervical VertebraeMachine Learning AlgorithmsComputerized TomographyTranspedicular Screw FixationComputed-TomographyMorphometric EvaluationBiomechanical AnalysisSpine SurgeryPedicleFeasibilityMiddleArticle1522102181185747WOS:001029516200008Q3
