    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Neurosurgery
    • Computer Vision

    Background:

    • Facial nerve segmentation is critical for cochlear implantation planning.
    • Low resolution of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images hinders accurate segmentation.
    • Existing methods struggle with the precision required for delicate anatomical structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a super-resolution classification method for refining facial nerve segmentation.
    • To achieve subvoxel accuracy in facial nerve delineation from CBCT/CT images.
    • To enhance preoperative planning for cochlear implantation.

    Main Methods:

    • A super-resolution classification method was developed to map low-resolution CBCT/CT images to high-resolution facial nerve labels.
    • Training data derived from manual segmentation of micro-CT images.
    • Leave-one-out cross-validation on 15 ex vivo samples with paired CBCT/CT and micro-CT scans.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method achieved a Dice coefficient of [Dice coefficient value].
    • Surface-to-surface distance was [SSD value], and Hausdorff distance was [HD value].
    • Outperformed ITK-SNAP and GeoS in accuracy for facial nerve segmentation.

    Conclusions:

    • The super-resolution classification method significantly improves facial nerve segmentation accuracy from CBCT/CT images.
    • This technique offers subvoxel precision, crucial for safe and effective cochlear implantation.
    • The approach provides a valuable tool for neurosurgical planning and medical imaging analysis.
