Gauze Detection and Segmentation in Minimally Invasive Surgery Video Using Convolutional Neural Networks.

ABSTRACT: Medical instruments detection in laparoscopic video has been carried out to increase the autonomy of surgical robots, evaluate skills or index recordings. However, it has not been extended to surgical gauzes. Gauzes can provide valuable information to numerous tasks in the operating room, but the lack of an annotated dataset has hampered its research. In this article, we present a segmentation dataset with 4003 hand-labelled frames from laparoscopic video. To prove the dataset potential, we analyzed several baselines: detection using YOLOv3, coarse segmentation, and segmentation with a U-Net. Our results show that YOLOv3 can be executed in real time but provides a modest recall. Coarse segmentation presents satisfactory results but lacks inference speed. Finally, the U-Net baseline achieves a good speed-quality compromise running above 30 FPS while obtaining an IoU of 0.85. The accuracy reached by U-Net and its execution speed demonstrate that precise and real-time gauze segmentation can be achieved, training convolutional neural networks on the proposed dataset.

Project description:PurposeTo develop a fast and accurate convolutional neural network based method for segmentation of thalamic nuclei.MethodsA cascaded multi-planar scheme with a modified residual U-Net architecture was used to segment thalamic nuclei on conventional and white-matter-nulled (WMn) magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) data. A single network was optimized to work with images from healthy controls and patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and essential tremor (ET), acquired at both 3 T and 7 T field strengths. WMn-MPRAGE images were manually delineated by a trained neuroradiologist using the Morel histological atlas as a guide to generate reference ground truth labels. Dice similarity coefficient and volume similarity index (VSI) were used to evaluate performance. Clinical utility was demonstrated by applying this method to study the effect of MS on thalamic nuclei atrophy.ResultsSegmentation of each thalamus into twelve nuclei was achieved in under a minute. For 7 T WMn-MPRAGE, the proposed method outperforms current state-of-the-art on patients with ET with statistically significant improvements in Dice for five nuclei (increase in the range of 0.05-0.18) and VSI for four nuclei (increase in the range of 0.05-0.19), while performing comparably for healthy and MS subjects. Dice and VSI achieved using 7 T WMn-MPRAGE data are comparable to those using 3 T WMn-MPRAGE data. For conventional MPRAGE, the proposed method shows a statistically significant Dice improvement in the range of 0.14-0.63 over FreeSurfer for all nuclei and disease types. Effect of noise on network performance shows robustness to images with SNR as low as half the baseline SNR. Atrophy of four thalamic nuclei and whole thalamus was observed for MS patients compared to healthy control subjects, after controlling for the effect of parallel imaging, intracranial volume, gender, and age (p < 0.004).ConclusionThe proposed segmentation method is fast, accurate, performs well across disease types and field strengths, and shows great potential for improving our understanding of thalamic nuclei involvement in neurological diseases.
