• Abstract summary: This study presents a statistical modelling method for automatic learning of shape, pose and intensity features in medical images. A DMFC-GPM is a Gaussian process (GP)-based model with a shared latent space that encodes linear and non-linear variation. The model performance results suggest that this new modelling paradigm is robust, accurate, accessible, and has potential applications.

• Abstract: In model-based medical image analysis, three features of interest are the shape of structures of interest, their relative pose, and image intensity profiles representative of some physical property. Often, these are modelled separately through statistical models by decomposing the object's features into a set of basis functions through principal geodesic analysis or principal component analysis. This study presents a statistical modelling method for automatic learning of shape, pose and intensity features in medical images which we call the Dynamic multi feature-class Gaussian process models (DMFC-GPM). A DMFC-GPM is a Gaussian process (GP)-based model with a shared latent space that encodes linear and non-linear variation. Our method is defined in a continuous domain with a principled way to represent shape, pose and intensity feature classes in a linear space, based on deformation fields. A deformation field-based metric is adapted in the method for modelling shape and intensity feature variation as well as for comparing rigid transformations (pose). Moreover, DMFC-GPMs inherit properties intrinsic to GPs including marginalisation and regression. Furthermore, they allow for adding additional pose feature variability on top of those obtained from the image acquisition process; what we term as permutation modelling. For image analysis tasks using DMFC-GPMs, we adapt Metropolis-Hastings algorithms making the prediction of features fully probabilistic. We validate the method using controlled synthetic data and we perform experiments on bone structures from CT images of the shoulder to illustrate the efficacy of the model for pose and shape feature prediction. The model performance results suggest that this new modelling paradigm is robust, accurate, accessible, and has potential applications including the management of musculoskeletal disorders and clinical decision making

  Particle-based shape modeling is a popular approach to quantify shape variability in populations of anatomies. We propose an adaptation of this method using a traditional optimization approach that allows more precise control over the desired characteristics of models. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach to state-of-the-art methods on two real datasets and justify our choice of losses empirically.

Our framework leads to a family of three novel objectives that are all simulation-free, and thus scalable. We substantiate our designs via wet-lab validation, where we observe transient expression of reward-optimized protein sequences.
