• Abstract summary: We present a deep-learning based method for estimating the 3D structure of a bone from a pair of 2D X-ray images. Our predictions have an average root mean square (RMS) distance of 1.08 mm between the predicted and true shapes, making it more accurate than the average error achieved by eight other examined 3D bone reconstruction approaches.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present a deep-learning based method for estimating the 3D structure of a bone from a pair of 2D X-ray images. Our triplet loss-trained neural network selects the most closely matching 3D bone shape from a predefined set of shapes. Our predictions have an average root mean square (RMS) distance of 1.08 mm between the predicted and true shapes, making it more accurate than the average error achieved by eight other examined 3D bone reconstruction approaches. The prediction process that we use is fully automated and unlike many competing approaches, it does not rely on any previous knowledge about bone geometry. Additionally, our neural network can determine the identity of a bone based only on its X-ray image. It computes a low-dimensional representation ("embedding") of each 2D X-ray image and henceforth compares different X-ray images based only on their embeddings. An embedding holds enough information to uniquely identify the bone CT belonging to the input X-ray image with a 100% accuracy and can therefore serve as a kind of fingerprint for that bone. Possible applications include faster, image content-based bone database searches for forensic purposes.

  Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) plays a vital role in clinical imaging. Traditional methods typically require hundreds of 2D X-ray projections to reconstruct a high-quality 3D CBCT image. This has led to a growing interest in sparse-view CBCT reconstruction to reduce radiation doses. We introduce a novel geometry-aware encoder-decoder framework to solve this problem.

  We annotated 396 radiographs of left and right carpi dorsal 75 medial to palmarolateral oblique (DMPLO) projection with the location of radius, proximal row of carpal bones, distal row of carpal bones, accessory carpal bone, first carpal bone, if present, and metacarpus (metacarpal II, III, and IV) Models trained using 96 radiographs or more achieved precision, recall and mAP above 0.95, including for the first carpal bone, when trained for 32 epochs. The best model needed the double of epochs to learn to detect the first carpal bone compared with the other bones.

We show that by gaining an understanding of radiography in 3D space, our method can be applied to radiograph bone extraction and suppression without groundtruth bone labels.

This work provides a novel automatic initialization, which enables end to end registration. The mean (+-standard deviation) target registration error in millimetres is 4.1 +- 4.3 for simulated X-rays with a success rate of 92% and 4.2 +- 3.9 for real X-rays with a success rate of 86.8%, where a success is defined as a translation error of less than 30mm.
