Abstract
Background
This study aimed to develop a novel deep convolutional neural network called Dual-path Double Attention Transformer (DDA-Transformer) designed to achieve precise and fast knee joint CT image segmentation and to validate it in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods
The femoral, tibial, patellar, and fibular segmentation performance and speed were evaluated and the accuracy of component sizing, bone resection and alignment of the robotic-assisted TKA system constructed using this deep learning network was clinically validated.
Results
Overall, DDA-Transformer outperformed six other networks in terms of the Dice coefficient, intersection over union, average surface distance, and Hausdorff distance. DDA-Transformer exhibited significantly faster segmentation speeds than nnUnet, TransUnet and 3D-Unet (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the robotic-assisted TKA system outperforms the manual group in surgical accuracy.
Conclusions
DDA-Transformer exhibited significantly improved accuracy and robustness in knee joint segmentation, and this convenient and stable knee joint CT image segmentation network significantly improved the accuracy of the TKA procedure.
