    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
    • Neuroimaging Analysis

    Background:

    • Accurate rotational alignment of brain Computed Tomography (CT) images is critical for reliable diagnostic analysis.
    • Current manual alignment methods are time-consuming and prone to inter-observer variability.
    • Standardized imaging positions are essential for both automated and manual interpretation of neurological data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel, unsupervised, two-step iterative approach for automatic 3D rotational alignment of brain CT images.
    • To improve the efficiency and accuracy of standardizing brain CT data for diagnostic purposes.
    • To reduce the time required for image alignment compared to manual expert methods.

    Main Methods:

    • An unsupervised Midsagittal Plane (MSP) localization method was employed to determine axial and coronal rotation angles.
    • This involved detecting and pairing medially symmetrical feature points within the CT data.
    • A regression convolutional neural network (CNN) was utilized to estimate the sagittal rotation angle.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed algorithm demonstrated a low error in estimated rotations, averaging approximately 1 degree.
    • The automated alignment process was significantly faster than manual alignment by radiologists, taking around 2 minutes per case.
    • Validation on a dataset of manually aligned CT scans confirmed the method's accuracy and efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel two-step iterative approach provides an accurate and efficient solution for automatic 3D rotational alignment of brain CT images.
    • This automated method has the potential to streamline diagnostic workflows and improve the consistency of neuroimaging analysis.
    • The algorithm's speed and precision offer a valuable alternative to manual image alignment by clinical experts.
