Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In the context of minimally invasive spine surgery, accurately estimating the 3D coordinates of the vertebrae from intraoperative 2D X-ray images is crucial for aligning preoperative data with the patient’s real-time posture. However, existing methods are hindered by the ill-posed nature of 2D-to-3D localization and the distinctive anatomical features of the spinal column, leading to ambiguities and reduced accuracy. In this paper, we introduce X2P-net, a novel prompt-guided and semantic context-enhanced 2D/3D vertebra detection framework. To achieve this, we design a novel Transformer architecture, referred to as BrickFormer, which can automatically extract the refined vertebral foreground context at low computational cost using a dual-attention mechanism. Comprehensive experiments were conducted to validate the proposed approach on two datasets: a large-scale synthetic dataset (BiSpineX) and a sheep spine dataset (SheepSpineX). Results obtained from these experiments demonstrate superior landmark localization performance of the proposed method compared to other state-of-the-art methods. Specifically, on the BiSpineX dataset, X2P-Net achieves percentages of 96.9% and 98.8% at 10 mm and 20 mm thresholds, respectively, a mean position error of 2.99 mm, and an A U C of 0.9923. Similar superior performance was also observed when the proposed method was applied to the SheepSpineX dataset, with percentages of 98.4% and 100.0% at 10 mm and 20 mm thresholds, respectively, a mean position error of 1.08 mm, and an A U C of 0.9972.
