Abstract

Background

Manually surgical planning becomes an increasing workload of surgeons because of the fast-growing patient population. This study introduced a machine-learning-based approach to assist surgical planning in orthognathic surgery.

Methods

Both preoperative and one-year-later postoperative CT images of 56 patients were collected. A 12-layers cascaded deep neural network structure with two successive models was proposed to yield an end-to-end solution, where the first model extracts landmarks from 2D patches of 3D volume and the second model predicts postoperative skeletal changes.

Results

The experimental results showed that the model obtained a prediction accuracy of 5.4 mm at the landmark level in 42.9 s. It also represented 74.4% of 3D regions at volume level when compared with the ground truth of human surgeons.

Conclusions

This study demonstrated the feasibility of predicting postoperative skeletal changes for orthognathic surgical planning by using machine learning, showing great potential for reducing the workload of surgeons.
