摘要

In developmental and reproductive toxicology (DART) studies, high-throughput micro-CT imaging of Dutch-Beltedrabbit fetuses has been used as a method for the assessment of compound-induced skeletal abnormalities. Sinceperforming visual inspection of the micro-CT images by the DART scientists is a time- and resource-intensive task, anautomatic strategy was proposed to localize, segment out, label, and evaluate each bone on the skeleton in a testingenvironment. However, due to the lack of robustness in this bone localization approach, failures on localizing certainbones on the critical path while traversing the skeleton, e.g., the cervical vertebral bones, could lead to localization errorsfor other bones downstream. Herein an approach based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) is proposed toautomatically localize each cervical vertebral bone represented by its center. For each center, a 3D probability map withGaussian decay is computed with the center itself being the maximum. From cervical vertebrae C1 to C7, the 7 volumesof distance transforms are stacked in order to form a 4-dimensional array. The deep CNN with a 3D U-Net architectureis used to estimate the probability maps for vertebral bone centers from the CT images as the input. A post-processingscheme is then applied to find all the regions with positive response, eliminate the false ones using a point-basedregistration method, and provide the locations and labels for the 7 cervical vertebral bones. Experiments were carried outon a dataset of 345 rabbit fetus micro-CT volumes. The images were randomly divided into training/validation/testingsets at an 80/10/10 ratio. Results demonstrated a 94.3% success rate for localization and labeling on the testing dataset of35 images, and for all the successful cases the average bone-by-bone localization error was at 0.84 voxel.
