| Abstract | Freehand 3D ultrasound imaging is emerging as a promising modality for regular spine exams due to its non-invasiveness and affordability. The laminae landmarks play a critical role in depicting the 3D shape of the spine. However, the extraction of the 3D lamina curves from transverse ultrasound sequences presents a challenging task, primarily attributed to the presence of diverse contrast variations, imaging artifacts, the complex surface of vertebral bones, and the difficulties associated with probe manipulation. This paper proposes Sequential Localization Recurrent Convolutional Networks (SL-RCN), a novel deep learning model that takes the contextual relationships into account and embeds the transformation matrix feature as a 3D knowledge base to enhance accurate ultrasound sequence analysis. The assessment involved the analysis of 3D ultrasound sequences obtained from 10 healthy adult human participants, covering both the lumbar and thoracic regions. The performance of SL-RCN is evaluated through 7-fold cross-validation, employing the leave-one-participant-out strategy. The validity of the AI model training is assessed on test data from 3 participants. Normalized Discrete Fréchet Distance (NDFD) is employed as the main metric to evaluate the disparity of the extracted 3D lamina curves. In contrast to our previous 2D image analysis method, SL-RCN generates reduced left/right mean distance errors from 1.62/1.63mm to 1.41/1.40mm, and NDFDs from 0.5910/0.6389 to 0.4276/0.4567. The increase in the mean NDFD value from 7-fold cross-validation to the test-data experiment is less than 0.05. The experiments demonstrate the SL-RCN's capability in extracting accurate paired smooth lamina landmark curves. |
