SkullEngine: A Multi-stage CNN Framework for Collaborative CBCT Image Segmentation and Landmark Detection (2110.03828v2)

Abstract: We propose a multi-stage coarse-to-fine CNN-based framework, called SkullEngine, for high-resolution segmentation and large-scale landmark detection through a collaborative, integrated, and scalable JSD model and three segmentation and landmark detection refinement models. We evaluated our framework on a clinical dataset consisting of 170 CBCT/CT images for the task of segmenting 2 bones (midface and mandible) and detecting 175 clinically common landmarks on bones, teeth, and soft tissues.
