Abstract

PURPOSE: Preoperative three-dimensional planning is important for total hip arthroplasty. To simulate the placement of joint implants on computed tomography (CT), pelvis and femur must be segmented. Accurate and rapid segmentation of the hip joint is challenging. This study aimed to develop a novel deep learning network, named Changmugu Net (CMG Net), which could achieve accurate segmentation of the femur and pelvis.
