• Title: Cephalometric Landmark Regression with Convolutional Neural Networks on 3D Computed Tomography Data
• Authors: Dmitry Lachinov, Alexandra Getmanskaya and Vadim Turlapov
• Abstract summary: Cephalometric analysis performed on lateral radiographs doesn't fully exploit the structure of 3D objects due to projection onto the lateral plane. We present a series of experiments with state of the art 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods for keypoint regression. For the first time, we extensively evaluate the described methods and demonstrate their effectiveness in the estimation of Frankfort Horizontal and cephalometric points locations.

• Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of automatic three-dimensional cephalometric analysis. Cephalometric analysis performed on lateral radiographs doesn't fully exploit the structure of 3D objects due to projection onto the lateral plane. With the development of three-dimensional imaging techniques such as CT, several analysis methods have been proposed that extend to the 3D case. The analysis based on these methods is invariant to rotations and translations and can describe difficult skull deformation, where 2D cephalometry has no use. In this paper, we provide a wide overview of existing approaches for cephalometric landmark regression. Moreover, we perform a series of experiments with state of the art 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods for keypoint regression: direct regression with CNN, heatmap regression and Softargmax regression. For the first time, we extensively evaluate the described methods and demonstrate their effectiveness in the estimation of Frankfort Horizontal and cephalometric points locations for patients with severe skull deformations. We demonstrate that Heatmap and Softargmax regression models provide sufficient regression error for medical applications (less than 4 mm). Moreover, the Softargmax model achieves 1.15o inclination error for the Frankfort horizontal. For the fair comparison with the prior art, we also report results projected on the lateral plane.

  We present DiffPose, a self-supervised approach that leverages patient-specific simulation and differentiable physics-based rendering to achieve accurate 2D/3D registration without relying on manually labeled data. DiffPose achieves sub-millimeter accuracy across surgical datasets at intraoperative speeds, improving upon existing unsupervised methods by an order of magnitude and even outperforming supervised baselines.

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.

• Automated 3D cephalometric landmark identification using computerized tomography [1.4349468613117398]
  Identification of 3D cephalometric landmarks that serve as proxy to the shape of human skull is the fundamental step in cephalometric analysis. Recently, automatic landmarking of 2D cephalograms using deep learning (DL) has achieved great success, but 3D landmarking for more than 80 landmarks has not yet reached a satisfactory level. This paper presents a semi-supervised DL method for 3D landmarking that takes advantage of anonymized landmark dataset with paired CT data being removed.
