Classification of Bones

Classification of Bones

The bones of the human skeletal system are of varied shapes, sizes, and functions. They can be classified based on their shape and function into four major classes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Some classifications include a fifth type, the sesamoid bones, as a separate class, whereas others categorize them under short bones.
Long and Short Bones
The appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper and lower limbs, is primarily made of long and short bones. The long...

Background:

Bone metastases are a common complication of malignant tumors.
SPECT bone scintigraphy is sensitive but limited by low spatial resolution for manual analysis.
Deep learning offers automated image analysis by extracting hierarchical patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance deep learning segmentation models by integrating textual data from diagnostic reports with SPECT bone scans.
To develop an automated analysis method that surpasses unimodal data-driven segmentation models.
To improve the accuracy of identifying bone metastases in low-resolution SPECT scans.

Main Methods:

A dual-path segmentation framework was proposed, processing bone scan images and diagnostic reports separately.
An encoder-decoder network extracted features from SPECT images.
The MacBERT model encoded textual features from diagnostic reports, which were fused with image features.

Main Results:

The proposed multimodal model demonstrated superior performance on clinical data.
The model achieved a 0.0209 increase in the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) score compared to the U-Net model.
The integration of textual data significantly enhanced segmentation performance.

Conclusions:

The multimodal deep learning method effectively identifies and isolates metastasis lesions in SPECT bone scans.
This approach outperforms existing classical deep learning models for SPECT scan analysis.
Incorporating textual data is valuable for deep learning-based segmentation of low-resolution SPECT bone scans.
