Depth to Anatomy: Organ Localization from Depth Images for Automated Patient Table Positioning in Radiology Workflow
- 输入单张体表深度图,用卷积神经网络预测41个器官的3D位置与形状
- 平均骰子系数0.44,表面距离7.69毫米,器官框定位误差10.99毫米
- 可减少人工摆位时间,适合临床自动化流程和设备集成
在临床放射学中,精准的患者床位定位对确保目标器官与扫描中心对齐至关重要,关系到图像质量和诊断可靠性。自动化定位可缩短手动调整和初步扫描规划的时间,提升工作效率。本文提出一种基于学习的框架,仅需一张身体表面的2D深度图,即可直接预测41个解剖结构(含骨骼与软组织)的3D位置与形态。利用德国国家队列(NAKO)数据集中的10,020例全身体部MRI,我们合成配对的深度图与解剖分割标签,训练卷积神经网络实现体素级器官预测。模型在所有结构上取得平均骰子相似系数0.44±0.2,对称平均表面距离7.69±5.68毫米;器官边界框的平均绝对检测偏移为10.99±5.54毫米。真实深度图上的定性结果表明模型具备良好的临床泛化能力。研究证明,仅依赖深度图的器官定位可有效支持自动化患者摆位,减少准备时间,降低人为差异,提升患者舒适度。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In clinical radiology, accurate patient table positioning is essential to align specific internal organs of interest with the scanner imaging isocenter, ensuring image quality and diagnostic reliability. Automated patient positioning can streamline this process and improve radiology workflow efficiency by reducing the time required for manual table adjustments and scout-based scan planning. We propose a learning-based framework that predicts 3D organ locations and shapes for 41 anatomical structures, including both bones and soft tissues, directly from a single 2D depth image of the body surface. Leveraging $10,020$ whole-body MRI scans from the German National Cohort (NAKO) dataset, we synthetically generate depth images paired with anatomical segmentations to train a convolutional neural network for volumetric organ prediction. Our method achieves a mean dice similarity coefficient of $0.44\pm0.2$ and and a symmetric average surface distance of $7.69\pm5.68$ mm across all structures. Furthermore, the model derives organ bounding boxes with a mean absolute detection offset of $10.99\pm5.54$ mm. Qualitative results on real-world depth images indicate the ability of the model to generalize to practical clinical settings. These findings suggest that depth-only organ localization can support automated patient positioning reducing setup time, minimizing operator variability, and improving patient comfort.
