About

Deying Su is a leading researcher in spinal radiological anatomy, with a focused expertise in cervical spine degeneration and its morphometric implications. Her work bridges the gap between clinical imaging and surgical anatomy, particularly in understanding how degenerative changes alter the uncinate process (UP) of the cervical vertebrae. Su’s most-cited study, “Analysis of the morphometric change in the uncinate process of the cervical spondylosis patients: A study of radiological anatomy” (2020, 11 citations), provides the first quantitative comparison of UP dimensions between normal and degenerative spines in a Chinese patient population. This contribution is critical for improving surgical planning and reducing complications in procedures involving the vertebral artery, as it highlights how cervical spondylosis reshapes bony landmarks. By addressing a previously unexplored demographic gap, Su’s work has informed both radiologists and spine surgeons, offering evidence-based insights into pathological anatomy. Her research underscores the importance of population-specific data in spinal care, making her a notable voice in translational anatomy. With a growing citation footprint, Su continues to advance the precision of cervical spine diagnostics and interventions.
