- Abstract
- Segmentation of the cervical spine in tandem with three cranial bones, hard palate, basion, and opisthion using X-ray images is crucial for measuring metrics used to diagnose traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation (TAOD). Previous studies utilizing automated segmentation methods have been limited to segmenting parts of the cervical spine (C3 similar to C7), due to difficulties in defining the boundaries of C1 and C2 bones. Additionally, there has yet to be a study that includes cranial bone segmentations necessary for determining TAOD diagnosing metrics, which are usually defined by measuring the distance between certain cervical (C1 similar to C7) and cranial (hard palate, basion, opisthion) bones. For this study, we trained a U-Net model on 513 sagittal X-ray images with segmentations of both cervical and cranial bones for an automated solution to segmenting important features for diagnosing TAOD. Additionally, we tested U-Net derivatives, recurrent residual U-Net, attention U-Net, and attention recurrent residual U-Net to observe any notable differences in segmentation behavior. The accuracy of U-Net models ranged from 99.07 to 99.12%, and dice coefficient values ranged from 88.55 to 89.41%. Results showed that all 4 tested U-Net models were capable of segmenting bones used in measuring TAOD metrics with high accuracy.
