Topology-Guided Biomechanical Profiling: A White-Box Framework for Opportunistic Screening of Spinal Instability on Routine CT

ArXi:2603.16963v1 Announce Type: cross Routine oncologic computed tomography (CT) presents an ideal opportunity for screening spinal instability, yet prophylactic stabilization windows are frequently missed due to the complex geometric reasoning required by the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS). Automating SINS is fundamentally hindered by metastatic osteolysis, which induces topological ambiguity that confounds standard segmentation and black-box AI.
