摘要
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:The incidence of facial fractures is on the rise globally, yet limited studies are addressing the diverse forms of facial fractures present in 3D images. In particular, due to the nature of the facial fracture, the direction in which the bone fractures vary, and there is no clear outline, it is difficult to determine the exact location of the fracture in 2D images. Thus, 3D image analysis is required to find the exact fracture area, but it needs heavy computational complexity and expensive pixel-wise labeling for supervised learning. In this study, we tackle the problem of reducing the computational burden and increasing the accuracy of fracture localization by using a weakly-supervised object localization without pixel-wise labeling in a 3D image space. METHODS:We propose a Very Fast, High-Resolution Aggregation 3D Detection CAM (VFHA-CAM) model, which can detect various facial fractures. To better detect tiny fractures, our model uses high-resolution feature maps and employs Ablation CAM to find an exact fracture location without pixel-wise labeling, where we use a rough fracture image detected with 3D box-wise labeling. To this end, we extract important features and use only essential features to reduce the computational complexity in 3D image space. RESULTS:Experimental findings demonstrate that VFHA-CAM surpasses state-of-the-art 2D detection methods by up to 20% in sensitivity/person and specificity/person, achieving sensitivity/person and specificity/person scores of 87% and 85%, respectively. In addition, Our VFHA-CAM reduces location analysis time to 76 s without performance degradation compared to a simple Ablation CAM method that takes more than 20 min. CONCLUSION:This study introduces a novel weakly-supervised object localization approach for bone fracture detection in 3D facial images. The proposed method employs a 3D detection model, which helps detect various forms of facial bone fractures accurately. The CAM algorithm adopted for fracture area segmentation within a 3D fracture detection box is key in quickly informing medical staff of the exact location of a facial bone fracture in a weakly-supervised object localization. In addition, we provide 3D visualization so that even non-experts unfamiliar with 3D CT images can identify the fracture status and location.
