Detecting Anatomical Landmarks From Limited Medical Imaging Data Using Two-Stage Task-Oriented Deep Neural Networks
Open accessAbstract
One of the major challenges in anatomical landmark detection, based on deep neural networks, is the limited availability of medical imaging data for network learning. To address this problem, we present a two-stage task-oriented deep learning method to detect large-scale anatomical landmarks simultaneously in real time, using limited training data. Specifically, our method consists of two deep convolutional neural networks (CNN), with each focusing on one specific task. Specifically, to alleviate the problem of limited training data, in the first stage, we propose a CNN based regression model using millions of image patches as input, aiming to learn inherent associations between local image patches and target anatomical landmarks. To further model the correlations among image patches, in the second stage, we develop another CNN model, which includes a) a fully convolutional network that shares the same architecture and network weights as the CNN used in the first stage and also b) several extra layers to jointly predict coordinates of multiple anatomical landmarks. Importantly, our method can jointly detect large-scale (e.g., thousands of) landmarks in real time. We have conducted various experiments for detecting 1200 brain landmarks from the 3D T1-weighted magnetic resonance images of 700 subjects, and also 7 prostate landmarks from the 3D computed tomography images of 73 subjects. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our method regarding both accuracy and efficiency in the anatomical landmark detection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
