- 先用Pix2Pix去除非手部干扰,再生成闭合表面模型
- 在90例清晰手部数据上建模,形态分布与美军人体调查一致
- 适合生物力学、假肢设计等医学工程领域应用
准确分割与统计建模手部解剖结构对医学诊断、人因工程和生物力学具有重要意义。本研究提出一个AI辅助重建流程,基于1,271例肘至手(e2h-CT)CT扫描,首先采用基于Pix2Pix的条件生成对抗网络去除石膏和背景伪影。清理后的扫描在3D Slicer中提取皮肤与骨骼掩码,并转换为闭合表面网格模型。骨骼网格用于构建骨架表示,通过隐式蒙皮将所有手模型对齐至标准解剖构型。随后使用基于测地线的共轭点漂移++(GBCPD++)算法对皮肤表面进行非刚性配准,建立跨受试者的点级对应关系。对配准后模型进行主成分分析(PCA),量化解剖形态变异。Pix2Pix预处理阶段在独立测试集上获得Dice系数0.9856和交并比(IoU)0.9720。统计建模基于90例手指完全可见且解剖分离的扫描子集完成,结果表明统计形状分布与美国陆军人体测量调查(ANSUR II)高度一致,验证了重建模型的解剖有效性。该方法在生物力学建模、人因优化、假肢设计和精准医疗诊断方面具有显著潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate segmentation and statistical shape modeling of hand anatomy have significant implications for medical diagnostics, ergonomics, and biomechanics. This study proposes an AI-assisted reconstruction pipeline for segmenting and analyzing hand anatomy from 1,271 elbow-to-hand (e2h-CT) computed tomography scans. A Pix2Pix-based conditional generative adversarial network is first employed to remove plaster cast and background artifacts from CT volumes. The cleaned scans are then processed in 3D Slicer to extract skin and bone masks, which are converted into closed-surface mesh models. Segmented bone meshes are used to construct skeletal representations, enabling implicit skinning to align all hand models into a standardized anatomical configuration. Subsequently, non-rigid registration is performed on the hand skin surfaces using the Geodesic Based Coherent Point Drift++ (GBCPD++) algorithm to establish point-wise correspondence across subjects. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is then applied to the registered models to quantify anatomical shape variability. The Pix2Pix preprocessing stage achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.9856 and an IoU of 0.9720 on the held-out test set. Statistical modeling was performed on a subset of 90 scans in which the fingers were fully visible and anatomically separated. The resulting statistical shape distributions demonstrate strong agreement with the U.S. Army Anthropometric Survey (ANSUR II), supporting the anatomical validity of the reconstructed models. The proposed methodology demonstrates significant potential for advancing biomechanical modeling, ergonomic optimization, prosthetic design, and precision medical diagnostics.
