Title
Fully Automatic Planning Of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Without Segmentation: A Deep Learning Based Approach
Abstract
We present a method for automatically determining the position and orientation of the articular marginal plane (AMP) of the proximal humerus in computed tomography (CT) images without segmentation or hand-crafted features. The process is broken down into 3 stages. Stage 1 determines a coarse estimation of the AMP center by sampling patches over the entire image and combining predictions with a novel kernel density estimation method. Stage 2 utilizes the estimate from stage 1 to focus on a smaller sampling region and operates at a higher images resolution to obtain a refined prediction of the AMP center. Stage 3 focuses patch sampling on the region around the center obtained at stage 2 and regresses the tip of a vector normal to the AMP which yields the orientation of the plane. The system was trained and evaluated on 27 upper arm CTs. In a 4-fold cross-validation the mean error in estimating the AMP center was 1.30 +/- 0.65mm and the angular error for estimating the normal vector was 4.68 +/- 2.84 degrees.
