  "summary": "Spine landmark detection from spinal X-ray is a key step for estimating spine deformation severity, for building biomechanical models, and for pre-operative planning. We reframe anatomical landmark detection as a pixel-level contrastive representation learning problem, matching dense pixel embeddings with landmark prototypes. Surprisingly, even with a generic U-Net backbone, this formulation…",
