3D Statistical Shape Models Incorporating Landmark-Wise Random Regression Forests for Omni-Directional Landmark Detection.

Abstract：

:3D Statistical Shape Models (3D-SSM) are widely used for medical image segmentation. However, during segmentation, they typically perform a very limited unidirectional search for suitable landmark positions in the image, relying on weak learners or use-case specific appearance models that solely take local image information into account. As a consequence, segmentation errors arise, and results in general depend on the accuracy of a previous model initialization. Furthermore, these methods become subject to a tedious and use-case dependent parameter tuning in order to obtain optimized results. To overcome these limitations, we propose an extension of 3D-SSM by landmark-wise random regression forests that perform an enhanced omni-directional search for landmark positions, thereby taking rich non-local image information into account. In addition, we provide a long distance model fitting based on a multi-scale approach, that allows an accurate and reproducible segmentation even from distant image positions, thus enabling an application without model initialization. Finally, translation of the proposed method to different organs is straightforward and requires no adaptation of the training process. In segmentation experiments on 45 clinical CT volumes, the proposed omni-directional search significantly increased accuracy and displayed great precision regardless of model initialization. Furthermore, for liver, spleen and kidney segmentation in a competitive multi-organ labeling challenge on publicly available data, the proposed method achieved similar or better results than the state of the art. Finally, liver segmentation results were obtained that successfully compete with specialized state-of-the-art methods from the well-known liver segmentation challenge SLIVER.
