THA-Flow Generative Model: Prosthesis Geometry Prediction from Preoperative CT

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

THA-Flow is a conditional flow-matching model that generates 3‑D prosthesis geometry directly from preoperative CT scans for total hip arthroplasty. It uses separate AutoencoderKL models to compress bone anatomy and prosthesis shapes, and a 3‑D UNet to learn a flow from Gaussian noise to the prosthesis latent space conditioned on bone geometry. In a retrospective cohort of 1,355 hips, the model produced accurate acetabular and femoral geometries for 93.4% of cases, preserving component position and alignment while allowing limited local variation.

Towards patient-specific optimization for mandibular reconstruction planning based on predicted bone-union propensity

The paper introduces OsteoOpt++, an image‑to‑decision loop that uses pre‑operative CT scans to build a personalized digital twin of a patient’s mandible and then applies Bayesian optimization to adjust six surgical variables for improved bone‑union propensity at the donor‑host interface. In both generic defect models and patient‑specific cases, the optimized plans increased donor‑mandible apposition by up to 29 % and 26 % respectively compared to surgeon‑generated plans, and the predicted apposition closely matched year‑1 bone formation (Dice overlap 70–85 %). The study demonstrates the feasibility of using apposition‑derived predictions to evaluate and compare reconstruction options and provides open‑source code for further development.

MedSAM2-Anatomy: Training-Free Inference-Time Optimization for Musculoskeletal Segmentation

arXiv:2608. 00195v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-resolution 3D segmentation of hip and shoulder anatomy from CT and MRI is essential for surgical planning, yet frozen segmentation models often fail under domain shift.
