- Abstract summary: We propose a new angle to the 3D segmentation task: segment empty spaces between all the tissues surrounding the object.
Our approach is an end-to-end pipeline that comprises a V-Net for bone segmentation.
We validate the idea on the CT scans in a 50-patient dataset, annotated by experts in maxillofacial medicine.

- Abstract: Clinical examination of three-dimensional image data of compound anatomical
objects, such as complex joints, remains a tedious process, demanding the time
and the expertise of physicians. For instance, automation of the segmentation
task of the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) has been hindered by its compound
three-dimensional shape, multiple overlaid textures, an abundance of
surrounding irregularities in the skull, and a virtually omnidirectional range
of the jaw's motion - all of which extend the manual annotation process to more
than an hour per patient. To address the challenge, we invent a new angle to
the 3D segmentation task: namely, we propose to segment empty spaces between
all the tissues surrounding the object - the so-called negative volume
segmentation. Our approach is an end-to-end pipeline that comprises a V-Net for
bone segmentation, a 3D volume construction by inflation of the reconstructed
bone head in all directions along the normal vector to its mesh faces.
Eventually confined within the skull bones, the inflated surface occupies the
entire "negative" space in the joint, effectively providing a
geometrical/topological metric of the joint's health. We validate the idea on
the CT scans in a 50-patient dataset, annotated by experts in maxillofacial
medicine, quantitatively compare the asymmetry given the left and the right
negative volumes, and automate the entire framework for clinical adoption.

We perform a quantitative analysis of a self-supervised approach for sinus reconstruction using endoscopic sequences and optical tracking.
Our results show that the generated reconstructions are in high agreement with the anatomy, yielding an average point-to-mesh error of 0.91 mm.
We identify that pose and depth estimation inaccuracies contribute equally to this error and that locally consistent sequences with shorter trajectories generate more accurate reconstructions.

Medical applications often require accurate 3D representations of complex organs with multiple parts, such as the heart and spine.

We propose a sampling-based technique that effectively checks and enforces topological constraints between 3D shapes by evaluating signed distances at randomly sampled points throughout the volume.

Shape priors have long been known to be effective when reconstructing 3D shapes from noisy or incomplete data.
In this paper, we advocate a hybrid approach representing shapes in terms of 3D meshes with a separate latent vector at each vertex.
For inference, the latent vectors are updated independently while imposing spatial regularization constraints.
We show that this gives us both flexibility and generalization capabilities, which we demonstrate on several medical image processing tasks.

CBCT images are of low-quality and artifact-laden due to noise, poor tissue contrast, and the presence of metallic objects.
There exists a wealth of artifact-free, high quality CT images with vertebra annotations.
This motivates us to build a CBCT vertebra segmentation model using unpaired CT images with annotations.
