Bone-wise rigid registration of femur, tibia, and fibula for the tracking of temporal changes.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) induces temporal alterations in bone structure, such as osteolytic bone lesions, which are challenging to identify through manual image interpretation. The large variation in radiologists' assessments, even at expert...

A deep learning and statistical shape modeling-based method for assessing intercondylar notch volume in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

The Knee
BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a widely performed procedure for ACL injury, but there are several factors which may lead to re-rupture or clinical failure. An intercondylar notch (or fossa) that is narrower may increas...

Leveraging deep learning for nonlinear shape representation in anatomically parameterized statistical shape models.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Statistical shape models (SSMs) are widely used for morphological assessment of anatomical structures. However, a key limitation is the need for a clear relationship between the model's shape coefficients and clinically relevant anatomical p...

Novel dilation-erosion labeling technique allows for rapid, accurate and adjustable alignment measurements in primary TKA.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Optimal implant position and alignment remains a controversial, yet critical topic in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Future study of ideal implant position will require the ability to efficiently measure component positions at sca...

Inferring the locomotor ecology of two of the oldest fossil squirrels: influence of operationalization, trait, body size and machine learning method.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Correlations between morphology and lifestyle of extant taxa are useful for predicting lifestyles of extinct relatives. Here, we infer the locomotor behaviour of from the middle Oligocene and from the lower Miocene of France using their femoral mor...

Better Rough Than Scarce: Proximal Femur Fracture Segmentation With Rough Annotations.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Proximal femoral fracture segmentation in computed tomography (CT) is essential in the preoperative planning of orthopedic surgeons. Recently, numerous deep learning-based approaches have been proposed for segmenting various structures within CT scan...

Development of an artificial intelligence model for predicting implant size in total knee arthroplasty using simple X-ray images.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
BACKGROUND: Accurate estimation of implant size before surgery is crucial in preparing for total knee arthroplasty. However, this task is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To alleviate this burden on surgeons, we developed a reliable artificial int...

Explainable machine-learning-based prediction of QCT/FEA-calculated femoral strength under stance loading configuration using radiomics features.

Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research Society
Finite element analysis can provide precise femoral strength assessment. However, its modeling procedures were complex and time-consuming. This study aimed to develop a model to evaluate femoral strength calculated by quantitative computed tomography...

Artificial intelligence-based assessment of leg axis parameters shows excellent agreement with human raters: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the reliability and applicability of artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis of leg axis parameters. We hypothesized that AI-based leg axis measurements would ...

Finite element models with automatic computed tomography bone segmentation for failure load computation.

Scientific reports
Bone segmentation is an important step to perform biomechanical failure load simulations on in-vivo CT data of patients with bone metastasis, as it is a mandatory operation to obtain meshes needed for numerical simulations. Segmentation can be a tedi...
