Full-length radiograph based automatic musculoskeletal modeling using convolutional neural network

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

Full-length radiographs contain information from which many anatomical parameters of the pelvis, femur, and tibia may be derived, but only a few anatomical parameters are used for musculoskeletal modeling. This study aimed to develop a fully automatic algorithm to extract anatomical parameters from full-length radiograph to generate a musculoskeletal model that is more accurate than linear scaled one. A U-Net convolutional neural network was trained to segment the pelvis, femur, and tibia from the full-length radiograph. Eight anatomic parameters (six for length and width, two for angles) were automatically extracted from the bone segmentation masks and used to generate the musculoskeletal model. Sørensen-Dice coefficient was used to quantify the consistency of automatic bone segmentation masks with manually segmented labels. Maximum distance error, root mean square (RMS) distance error and Jaccard index (JI) were used to evaluate the geometric accuracy of the automatically generated pelvis, femur and tibia models versus CT bone models. Mean Sørensen-Dice coefficients for the pelvis, femur and tibia 2D segmentation masks were 0.9898, 0.9822 and 0.9786, respectively. The algorithm-driven bone models were closer to the 3D CT bone models than the scaled generic models in geometry, with significantly lower maximum distance error (28.3 % average decrease from 24.35 mm) and RMS distance error (28.9 % average decrease from 9.55 mm) and higher JI (17.2 % average increase from 0.46) (P < 0.001). The algorithm-driven musculoskeletal modeling (107.15 ± 10.24 s) was faster than the manual process (870.07 ± 44.79 s) for the same full-length radiograph. This algorithm provides a fully automatic way to generate a musculoskeletal model from full-length radiograph that achieves an approximately 30 % reduction in distance errors, which could enable personalized musculoskeletal simulation based on full-length radiograph for large scale OA populations.
