The processor is to cause the spinal image having the first annotations to be displayed at a user interface. The processor is to prompt a user to provide second user input identifying an error in the first annotations. In response to receiving the second user input, the processor is to generate second annotations on the spinal image. The second annotations is to correct the error in the first annotations.
