Automatic Segmentation and Identification of Spinous Processes on Sagittal X-Rays Based on Random Forest Classification and Dedicated Contextual Features
Communication avec acte
Résumé
X-ray based quantitative analysis of spine parameters is required in routine diagnosis or treatment planning. Existing tools commonly require manual intervention. Attempts towards automation of the whole procedure have mainly focused on vertebral bodies, whereas other regions such as the posterior arch also bear considerable amount of useful information. In this study, we combine a specific design of contextual visual features with a multi-class Random Forest classifier to perform pixel-wise segmentation and identification of all cervical spine spinous processes, on sagittal radiographs. Segmentations were evaluated on 62 radiographs, comparing to manual tracing. Correct identification was obtained for all subjects, and segmentation returned mean SD values of: Dice coefficient =88 8%; Hausdorff distance =2.1 1.4 mm and; mean surface distance =0.6 0.4 mm. The derived geometric parameters can be used to reduce the amount of manual intervention needed for spine modeling or to measure clinical indices.
