Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Deep learning for 3D cephalometric landmarking is established for typical anatomy.
  • Limited research exists for applying these techniques to patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply a novel deep learning approach, specifically a 3D point cloud graph convolutional neural network, for automatic 3D cephalometric landmark prediction and localization in CLP patients.
  • To evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of this new method.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the PointNet++ model for automatic 3D cephalometric landmark detection.
  • Employed mean distance error and success detection rate (SDR) to assess landmark localization accuracy.
  • Trained the model on computed tomography data from 150 CLP patients.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a mean distance error of 1.33 mm across 27 landmarks.
  • Demonstrated high accuracy for some landmarks, with 9 (30%) showing >90% SDR at 2 mm.
  • Identified areas for improvement, as 3 landmarks (35%) had <70% SDR at 2 mm.
  • Processing time was efficient at 16 seconds per dataset.

Conclusions:

  • The 3D cephalometry system based on graph convolutional neural networks shows promise for CLP cases.
  • Further improvements in accuracy are anticipated with expansion of the CLP training dataset.
