Declarations

:

: The composite dataset of lumbar spine MRI images, accessed on March 2, 2021, is publicly available at . Since the dataset does not include any identifiable personal information or sensitive medical data that could compromise patient confidentiality, it falls outside the scope of ethical review requirements typically mandated for studies involving human subjects. The focus of this dataset is strictly on clinically relevant spinal measurements and imaging correlations, without involving patient-specific details or interventions that would necessitate ethical oversight. Therefore, the use of this dataset for research purposes is considered exempt from formal ethical approval processes.
