Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Orthopedics
  • Computer-Aided Surgery

Background:

  • Accurate segmentation of the femur head and acetabulum is challenging in diseased hip joints due to anatomical deformities and narrow joint spaces.
  • Existing automatic or semi-automatic segmentation methods require improved accuracy for clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new surface fitting method for enhancing the accuracy of acetabular segmentation in diseased hip joints.
  • To address the limitations of traditional ellipsoid fitting by employing a two-phase quadric surface fitting approach.

Main Methods:

  • A novel iterative surface process was designed to obtain an optimized surface for segmentation.
  • Ellipsoid fitting was replaced with a two-phase quadric surface fitting technique.
  • Normal matching and optimization region methods were incorporated to capture critical edge points for accurate fitting.

Main Results:

  • The quadric surface fitting method achieved an average error of 2.3 mm.
  • Automatic contour recognition accuracy exceeded 89.4%.
  • Section contour error rates were below 10% for mild malformations and under 30% for severe malformations.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed surface fitting method significantly enhances acetabular segmentation accuracy compared to existing techniques.
  • The method demonstrates robust performance across a dataset of 79 hip joints from 40 patients.
  • This approach holds promise for improving computer-aided diagnosis and surgical planning in hip joint pathologies.
