This survey focuses on three main application areas. (1) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of blood flow in cerebral aneurysms assist in predicting the outcome of this pathologic process and of therapeutic interventions. (2) CFD simulations of nasal airflow allow for investigating the effects of obstructions and deformities and provide therapy decision support. (3) 4D Phase-Contrast (4D PC) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of aortic hemodynamics supports the diagnosis of various vascular and valve pathologies as well as their treatment. An investigation of the complex and often dynamic simulation and measurement data requires the coupling of sophisticated visualization, interaction, and data analysis techniques. In this paper, we survey the large body of work that has been conducted within this realm. We extend previous surveys by incorporating nasal airflow, addressing the joint investigation of blood flow and vessel wall properties, and providing a more fine-granular taxonomy of the existing techniques. From the survey, we extract major research trends and identify open problems and future challenges. The survey is intended for researchers interested in medical flow but also more general, in the combined visualization of physiology and anatomy, the extraction of features from flow field data and feature-based visualization, the visual comparison of different simulation results, and the interactive visual analysis of the flow field and derived characteristics.

To evaluate quantitative meniscal biomarkers for osteoarthritis (OA) estimated thereof. Method: A segmentation method employing convolutional neural networks in combination with statistical shape models was developed. Accuracy was evaluated on 88 manual segmentations. Meniscal volume, tibial coverage, and meniscal extrusion were computed and tested for differences between groups of OA, joint space narrowing (JSN), and WOMAC pain. Correlation between computed meniscal extrusion and MOAKS experts' readings was evaluated for 600 subjects. Suitability of biomarkers for predicting incident radiographic OA from baseline to 24 months was tested on a group of 552 patients (184 incident OA, 386 controls) by performing conditional logistic regression. Results: Segmentation accuracy measured as Dice Similarity Coefficient was 83.8% for medial menisci (MM) and 88.9% for lateral menisci (LM) at baseline, and 83.1% and 88.3% at 12-month follow-up. Medial tibial coverage was significantly lower for arthritic cases compared to non-arthritic ones. Medial meniscal extrusion was significantly higher for arthritic knees. A moderate correlation between automatically computed medial meniscal extrusion and experts' readings was found (ρ=0.44). Mean medial meniscal extrusion was significantly greater for incident OA cases compared to controls (1.16±0.93 mm vs. 0.83±0.92 mm; p<0.05). Conclusion: Especially for medial menisci an excellent segmentation accuracy was achieved. Our meniscal biomarkers were validated by comparison to experts' readings as well as analysis of differences w.r.t groups of OA, JSN, and WOMAC pain. It was confirmed that medial meniscal extrusion is a predictor for incident OA.

In particular hip implants have a lifetime of at most 15 years. This derives primarily from pain due to implant migration, wear, inflammation, and dislocation, which is affected by the positioning of the implant during the surgery. Current joint replacement practice uses 2D software tools and relies on the experience of surgeons. Especially the 2D tools fail to take the patients’ natural range of motion as well as stress distribution in the 3D joint induced by different daily motions into account. Optimizing the hip joint implant position for all possible parametrized motions under the constraint of a contact problem is prohibitively expensive as there are too many motions and every position change demands a recalculation of the contact problem. For the reduction of the computational effort, we use adaptive refinement on the parameter domain coupled with the interpolation method of Kriging. A coarse initial grid is to be locally refined using goal-oriented error estimation, reducing locally high variances. This approach will be combined with multi-grid optimization such that numerical errors are reduced.

The latter are much more complex, but allow a higher accuracy of ToD estimation as in principle all relevant cooling mechanisms can be taken into account. The potentially higher accuracy depends on the accuracy of tissue and environmental parameters as well as on the geometric resolution. We in- vestigate the impact of parameter variations and geometry representation on the estimated ToD based on a highly detailed 3D corpse model, that has been segmented and geometrically reconstructed from a computed to- mography (CT) data set, differentiating various organs and tissue types.

We present an approach for the automatic recognition of tooth types and positions in digital volume tomography (DVT). By using deep learning techniques in combination with dimensionality reduction through non-planar reformatting of the jaw anatomy, DVT data can be efficiently processed and teeth reliably recognized and classified, even in the presence of imaging artefacts, missing or dislocated teeth. We evaluated our approach, which is based on 2D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), on 118 manually annotated cases of clinical DVT datasets. Our proposed method correctly classifies teeth with an accuracy of 94% within a limit of 2mm distance to ground truth labels.

In orthopaedics and biomechanics, SSMs are increasingly employed to individualize measurement data or to create individualized anatomical models to which implants can be adapted to or functional tests can be performed on. For modeling and analysis of articulated structures, so called articulated SSMs (aSSMs) have been developed. However, a missing feature of aSSMs is the consideration of collisions in the course of individual fitting and articulation. The aim of our work was to develop aSSMs that handle collisions between components correctly. That way it becomes possible to adjust shape and articulation in view of a physically and geometrically plausible individualization. To be able to apply collision-aware aSSMs in simulation and optimisation, our approach is based on an e� cient collision detection method employing Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).

We quantify both T1 and T2⁎ in the quadriceps and patellar tendons of healthy volunteers at a field strength of 3 T and visualize the results based on 3D segmentation by using bivariate histogram analysis. We applied a 3D ultra-short echo-time imaging sequence with either variable repetition times (VTR) or variable flip angles (VFA) for T1 quantification in combination with multi-echo acquisition for extracting T2⁎. The values of both relaxation parameters were subsequently binned for bivariate histogram analysis and corresponding cluster identification, which were subsequently visualized. Based on manually-drawn regions of interest in the tendons on the relaxation parameter maps, T1 and T2⁎ boundaries were selected in the bivariate histogram to segment the quadriceps and patellar tendons and visualize the relaxation times by 3D volumetric rendering. Segmentation of bone marrow, fat, muscle and tendons was successfully performed based on the bivariate histogram analysis. Based on the segmentation results mean T2⁎ relaxation times, over the entire tendon volumes averaged over all subjects, were 1.8 ms ± 0.1 ms and 1.4 ms ± 0.2 ms for the patellar and quadriceps tendons, respectively. The mean T1 value of the patellar tendon, averaged over all subjects, was 527 ms ± 42 ms and 476 ms ± 40 ms for the VFA and VTR acquisitions, respectively. The quadriceps tendon had higher mean T1 values of 662 ms ± 97 ms (VFA method) and 637 ms ± 40 ms (VTR method) compared to the patellar tendon. 3D volumetric visualization of the relaxation times revealed that T1 values are not constant over the volume of both tendons, but vary locally. This work provided additional data to build upon the scarce literature available on relaxation times in the quadriceps and patellar tendons. We were able to segment both tendons and to visualize the relaxation parameter distributions over the entire tendon volumes.

The generative model is trained in an unsupervised fashion using clinical radiographs as well as simulated data, none of which contain disturbances. Our approach employs a latent space consistency loss which has the benefit of identifying similarities, and is enforced to reconstruct X-rays without disturbances. In order to detect images with disturbances, an anomaly score is computed also employing the Frechet distance between the input X-ray and the reconstructed one using our generative model. Validation was performed using clinical pelvis radiographs. We achieved an AUC of 0.77 and 0.83 with clinical and synthetic data, respectively. The results demonstrated a good accuracy of our method for detecting outliers as well as the advantage of utilizing synthetic data.

However, relying on fully supervised deep learning for this task is challenging because manual annotation occupies valuable time of the clinical experts. Methods We introduce a teacher–student learning approach that learns jointly from annotated simulation data and unlabeled real data to tackle the challenges in simulation-to-real unsupervised domain adaptation for endoscopic image segmentation. Results Empirical results on three datasets highlight the effectiveness of the proposed framework over current approaches for the endoscopic instrument segmentation task. Additionally, we provide analysis of major factors affecting the performance on all datasets to highlight the strengths and failure modes of our approach. Conclusions We show that our proposed approach can successfully exploit the unlabeled real endoscopic video frames and improve generalization performance over pure simulation-based training and the previous state-of-the-art. This takes us one step closer to effective segmentation of surgical instrument in the annotation scarce setting.

A state-of-the-art object detector, YOLOv4, was trained to locate regions of interests (ROIs) in full-leg X-Ray images for the hip joint, the knee, and the ankle. Residual neural networks (ResNets) were trained to regress landmark coordinates for each ROI.Based on the detected landmarks the knee alignment, i.e., the hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle, was computed. The accuracy of landmark detection was evaluated by a comparison to manually placed landmarks for 360 legs in 180 X-Rays. The accuracy of HKA angle computations was assessed on the basis of 2,943 X-Rays. Results of YARLA were compared to the results of two independent image reading studies(Cooke; Duryea) both publicly accessible via the Osteoarthritis Initiative. The agreement was evaluated using Spearman's Rho, and weighted kappa as well as regarding the correspondence of the class assignment (varus/neutral/valgus). The average difference between YARLA and manually placed landmarks was less than 2.0+- 1.5 mm for all structures (hip, knee, ankle). The average mismatch between HKA angle determinations of Cooke and Duryea was 0.09 +- 0.63°; YARLA resulted in a mismatch of 0.10 +- 0.74° compared to Cooke and of 0.18 +- 0.64° compared to Duryea. Cooke and Duryea agreed almost perfectly with respect to a weighted kappa value of 0.86, and showed an excellent reliability as measured by a Spearman's Rho value of 0.99. Similar values were achieved by YARLA, i.e., a weighted kappa value of0.83 and 0.87 and a Spearman's Rho value of 0.98 and 0.99 to Cooke and Duryea,respectively. Cooke and Duryea agreed in 92% of all class assignments and YARLA did so in 90% against Cooke and 92% against Duryea. In conclusion, YARLA achieved results comparable to those of human experts and thus provides a basis for an automated assessment of knee alignment in full-leg X-Rays.

T1 - Impact of the external knee flexion moment on patello-femoral loading derived from in vivo loads and kinematics JF - Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology N2 - Introduction: Anterior knee pain and other patello-femoral (PF) complications frequently limit the success of total knee arthroplasty as the final treatment of end stage osteoarthritis. However, knowledge about the in-vivo loading conditions at the PF joint remains limited, as no direct measurements are available. We hypothesised that the external knee flexion moment (EFM) is highly predictive of the PF contact forces during activities with substantial flexion of the loaded knee. Materials and methods: Six patients (65–80 years, 67–101 kg) with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed two activities of daily living: sit-stand-sit and squat. Tibio-femoral (TF) contact forces were measured in vivo using instrumented tibial components, while synchronously internal TF and PF kinematics were captured with mobile fluoroscopy. The measurements were used to compute PF contact forces using patient specific musculoskeletal models. The relationship between the EFM and the PF contact force was quantified using linear regression. Results: Mean peak TF contact forces of 1.97–3.24 times body weight (BW) were found while peak PF forces reached 1.75 to 3.29 times body weight (BW). The peak EFM ranged from 3.2 to 5.9 %BW times body height, and was a good predictor of the PF contact force (R2 = 0.95 and 0.88 for sit-stand-sit and squat, respectively). Discussion: The novel combination of in vivo TF contact forces and internal patellar kinematics enabled a reliable assessment of PF contact forces. The results of the regression analysis suggest that PF forces can be estimated based solely on the EFM from quantitative gait analysis. Our study also demonstrates the relevance of PF contact forces, which reach magnitudes similar to TF forces during activities of daily living.

The planning approach by Fujisawa et al. aims to adjust the weight-bearing line to achieve an optimal knee joint load distribution. While this method is accessible, it may not fully consider the complexity of individual dynamic knee-loading profiles. This review aims to disclose existing alternative HTO planning methods that do not follow Fujisawa’s standard. METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science and CENTRAL databases were screened, focusing on HTO research in combination with alternative planning approaches. RESULTS: Eight out of 828 studies were included, with seven simulation studies based on finite element analysis and multi-body dynamics. The planning approaches incorporated gradual degrees of realignment parameters (weight-bearing line shift, medial proximal tibial angle, hip- knee-ankle, knee joint line orientation), simulating their effect on knee kinematics, contact force/stress, Von Mises and shear stress. Two studies proposed implementing individual correction magnitudes derived from preoperatively predicted knee adduction moments. CONCLUSION: Most planning methods depend on static alignment assessments, neglecting an adequate loading-depending profile. They are confined to their conceptual phases, making the associated planning methods unviable for current clinical use.

In a first step, the implant geometry is used as a calibration object to relate the implant and the individual X-ray images spatially in a virtual X-ray setup. Second, the patient- specific femoral shape and pose are reconstructed by fitting a deformable statistical shape and intensity model (SSIM) to the X-rays. The relative positioning between femur and implant is then assessed in terms of the displacement between the reconstructed 3D shape of the femur and the plate.

Our goal is to study from clinical data, how the plate­to­bone distance affects bone healing. The patient­specific 3D shape of the femur is, however, seldom recorded for cases of femoral osteosynthesis since this typically requires Computed Tomography (CT), which comes at high cost and radiation dose. Our method instead utilizes two postoperative X­ray images to derive the femoral shape and thus can be applied on radiographs that are taken in clinical routine for follow­up. First, the implant geometry is used as a calibration object to relate the implant and the individual X­ray images spatially in a virtual X­ray setup. In a second step, the patient­specific femoral shape and pose are reconstructed in the virtual setup by fitting a deformable statistical shape and intensity model (SSIM) to the images. The relative positioning between femur and implant is then assessed in terms of displacement between the reconstructed 3D shape of the femur and the plate. A preliminary evaluation based on 4 cadaver datasets shows that the method derives the plate­to­bone distance with a mean absolute error of less than 1mm and a maximum error of 4.7 mm compared to ground truth from CT.

Other applications of bone modal analysis are also suggested. For the above-mentioned applications, it is important to understand how patient-specific bone shape and density distribution influence the natural frequencies of bones. We used finite element models to study the effects of bone shape and density distribution on the natural frequencies of the femur in free boundary conditions. A statistical shape and appearance model that describes shape and density distribution independently was created, based on a training set of 27 femora. The natural frequencies were then calculated for different shape modes varied around the mean shape while keeping the mean density distribution, for different appearance modes around the mean density distribution while keeping the mean bone shape, and for the 27 training femora. Single shape or appearance modes could cause up to 15% variations in the natural frequencies with certain modes having the greatest impact. For the actual femora, shape and density distribution changed the natural frequencies by up to 38%. First appearance mode that describes the general cortical bone thickness and trabecular bone density had one of the strongest impacts. The first appearance mode could therefore provide a sensitive measure of general bone health and disease progression. Since shape and density could cause large variations in the calculated natural frequencies, patient-specific FE models are needed for accurate estimation of bone natural frequencies.

A1 - Schulz, Matthias A1 - Zachow, Stefan A1 - Haberl, Hannes T1 - Frame-based cranial reconstruction JF - Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics N2 - The authors report on the first experiences with the prototype of a surgical tool for cranial remodeling. The device enables the surgeon to transfer statistical information, represented in a model, into the disfigured bone. The model is derived from a currently evolving databank of normal head shapes. Ultimately, the databank will provide a set of standard models covering the statistical range of normal head shapes, thus providing the required template for any standard remodeling procedure as well as customized models for intended overcorrection. To date, this technique has been used in the surgical treatment of 14 infants (age range 6-12 months) with craniosynostosis. In all 14 cases, the designated esthetic result, embodied by the selected model, has been achieved, without morbidity or mortality. Frame-based reconstruction provides the required tools to precisely realize the surgical reproduction of the model shape. It enables the establishment of a self-referring system, feeding back postoperative growth patterns, recorded by 3D follow-up, into the model design.

Indeed, the chambered shell is largely considered a key adaptation that allowed the earliest cephalopods to leave the ocean floor and enter the water column. It has been argued by some, however, that the iconic chambered shell of Paleozoic and Mesozoic ammonoids did not provide a sufficiently buoyant force to compensate for the weight of the entire animal, thus restricting ammonoids to a largely benthic lifestyle reminiscent of some octopods. Here we develop a technique using high-resolution computed tomography to quantify the buoyant properties of chambered shells without reducing the shell to ideal spirals or eliminating inherent biological variability by using mathematical models that characterize past work in this area. This technique has been tested on Nautilus pompilius and is now extended to the extant deep-sea squid Spirula spirula and the Jurassic ammonite Cadoceras sp. hatchling. Cadoceras is found to have possessed near-neutral to positive buoyancy if hatched when the shell possessed between three and five chambers. However, we show that the animal could also overcome degrees of negative buoyancy through swimming, similar to the paralarvae of modern squids. These calculations challenge past inferences of benthic life habits based solely on calculations of negative buoyancy. The calculated buoyancy of Cadoceras supports the possibility of planktonic dispersal of ammonite hatchlings. This information is essential to understanding ammonoid ecology as well as biotic interactions and has implications for the interpretation of geochemical data gained from the isotopic analysis of the shell.

The gold standard in obtaining pelvic parameters is from three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) imaging. However, this adds time and cost, exposes the patient to a substantial radiation dose, and does not allow for imaging under load (e.g. while the patient is standing). If pelvic parameters could be reliably derived from the standard anteroposterior (AP) radiograph, preoperative planning would be more widespread, and research analyses could be applied to retrospective data, after a postoperative issue is discovered. The goal of this work is to enable robust measurement of two surgical parameters of interest: the tilt of the anterior pelvic plane (APP) and the orientation of the natural acetabulum. We present a computer-aided reconstruction method to determine the APP and natural acetabular orientation from a single, preoperative X-ray. It can easily be extended to obtain other important preoperative and postoperative parameters solely based on a single AP radiograph.
