چکیده

This paper proposes a novel method for fast 3D reconstructions of the scoliotic spine from two planar radiographs. The method uses a statistical model of the shape of the spine for computing the 3D reconstruction that best matches the user input (about 7 control points per radiograph). In addition, the spine was modelled as an articulated structure to take advantage of the dependencies between adjacent vertebrae in terms of location, orientation and shape. The accuracy of the method was assessed for a total of 30 patients with mild to severe scoliosis (Cobb angle [22°, 70°]) by comparison with a previous validated method. Reconstruction time was 90 s for mild patients, and 110 s for severe. Results show an accuracy of ∼0.5mm locating vertebrae, while orientation accuracy was up to 1.5° for all except axial rotation (3.3° on moderate and 4.4° on severe cases). Clinical indices presented no significant differences to the reference method (Wilcoxon test, p ≤ 0.05) on patients with moderate scoliosis. Significant differences were found for two of the five indices (p=0.03) on the severe cases, while errors remain within the inter-observer variability of the reference method. Comparison with state-of-the-art methods shows that the method proposed here generally achieves superior accuracy while requiring less reconstruction time, making it especially appealing for clinical routine use.

Fast 3D Reconstruction of the Spine Using User-Defined Splines and a Statistical Articulated Model

This paper proposes a method for rapidly reconstructing 3D models of the spine from two planar radiographs. For performing 3D reconstructions, users only have to identify on each radiograph a spline that represents the spine midline. Then, a statistical articulated model of the spine is deformed until it best fits these splines. The articulated model used on this method not only models vertebra...

3D Biplanar Reconstruction of Scoliotic Vertebrae Using Statistical Models

This paper presents a new 3D reconstruction method of the scoliotic vertebrae of a spine, using two conventional radiographic views (postero-anterior and lateral), and a global prior knowledge on the geometrical structure of each vertebra. This geometrical knowledge is efficiently captured by a statistical deformable template integrating a set of admissible deformations, expressed by the first ...

Rib cage 3D reconstruction is an important prerequisite for thoracic spine modelling, particularly for studies of the deformed thorax in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. This study proposes a new method for rib cage 3D reconstruction from biplanar radiographs, using a statistical parametric model approach. Simplified parametric models were defined at the hierarchical levels of rib cage surface,...
