Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Neurosurgery
  • Quantitative Analysis

Background:

  • Midline shift (MLS) is a critical indicator of brain compression severity in pathologies.
  • Accurate MLS measurement is essential for clinical decision-making.
  • The septum pellucidum (SP) is a key anatomical landmark for assessing MLS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an automated procedure for measuring MLS using SP recognition.
  • To enhance the quantitative assessment of brain compression in CT studies.
  • To provide a reliable tool for both emergency and routine neurosurgical evaluations.

Main Methods:

  • Automated identification of the frontal horns (FH) using expert rules and a multiresolution binary level set method.
  • Recognition of the septum pellucidum (SP) via Hough transform, enhanced by morphological erosion.
  • Validation of the automated MLS measurement against expert manual measurements on 80 patient CT scans.

Main Results:

  • The automated system achieved a mean difference of 0.23 ± 0.52 mm compared to manual MLS measurements.
  • The method demonstrated robustness in evaluating MLS across a cohort of neurosurgical intensive care unit patients.
  • Successful recognition of the SP was achieved for MLS quantification.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed automated method for MLS measurement using SP recognition is accurate and reliable.
  • This technique offers a valuable, efficient tool for clinicians in assessing brain compression.
  • The system's robustness supports its application in diverse clinical neurosurgical scenarios.
