    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computer Vision
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Automated detection and segmentation of spinal structures in CT images are challenging due to anatomical complexity and image quality issues.
    • Existing methods struggle with unclear boundaries, low resolution, and artifacts, hindering accurate analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel, automated framework for detecting and segmenting the spine and individual vertebrae from 3D CT images.
    • To improve the accuracy and robustness of spinal structure analysis in medical imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel optimization technique based on interpolation theory for spine and vertebra localization.
    • An improved shape-constrained deformable model for precise vertebra segmentation.
    • Evaluation on public CT spine image databases (lumbar and thoracolumbar vertebrae).

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a mean centroid-to-centroid distance of 1.1 mm and Dice coefficient of 83.6% for vertebra detection.
    • Obtained a mean symmetric surface distance of 0.3 mm and Dice coefficient of 94.6% for vertebra segmentation.
    • Demonstrated successful and accurate detection and segmentation of vertebrae in 3D CT images.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed automated framework effectively detects and segments vertebrae in 3D CT scans.
    • This approach offers a robust solution for analyzing spinal anatomy from medical imaging data.
    • The framework shows significant potential for enhancing diagnostic capabilities in spinal imaging.
