A deep learning-based multi-view approach to automatic 3D landmarking and deformity assessment of lower limb.

ABSTRACT: Anatomical Landmark detection in CT-Scan images is widely used in the identification of skeletal disorders. However, the traditional process of manually detecting anatomical landmarks, especially in three dimensions, is both time-consuming and prone to human errors. We propose a novel, deep-learning-based approach to automatic detection of 3D landmarks in CT images of the lower limb. We generate multiple view renderings of the scanned limb and then integrate them, using a pyramid-style convolutional neural network, to build a 3D model of the bone and to determine the spatial coordinates of the landmarks. Those landmarks are then used to calculate key anatomical indicators that would enable the reliable diagnosis of skeletal disorders. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach we
