• Abstract: Teeth landmark detection is a critical task in modern clinical orthodontics. Their precise identification enables advanced diagnostics, facilitates personalized treatment strategies, and supports more effective monitoring of treatment progress in clinical dentistry. However, several significant challenges may arise due to the intricate geometry of individual teeth and the substantial variations observed across different individuals. To address these complexities, the development of advanced techniques, especially through the application of deep learning, is essential for the precise and reliable detection of 3D tooth landmarks. In this context, the 3DTeethLand challenge was held in collaboration with the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) in 2024, calling for algorithms focused on teeth landmark detection from intraoral 3D scans. This challenge introduced the first publicly available dataset for 3D teeth landmark detection, offering a valuable resource to assess the state-of-the-art methods in this task and encourage the community to provide methodological contributions towards the resolution of their problem with significant clinical implications.

  We propose a one-stage detection framework termed SpineOne to simultaneously localize and classify degenerative discs and vertebrae from MRI slices. SpineOne is built upon the following three key techniques: 1) a new design of the keypoint heatmap to facilitate simultaneous keypoint localization and classification; 2) the use of attention modules to better differentiate the representations between discs and vertebrae; and 3) a novel gradient-guided objective association mechanism to associate multiple learning objectives at the later training stage.
