To develop a synthetic data generation framework using CT scans to train AI models for pre-radiograph patient pose assessment.
Engineered a computational framework capable of generating paired depth images and radiographs synthetically from computed tomography (CT) scans.
Generated a synthetic pretraining dataset comprising 3,077 image pairs focused on upper ankle joints to train a pose estimation model.
Pretraining with the synthetic dataset increased the pose assessment accuracy of real upper ankle joints by up to 11 percentage points.
Demonstrated that CT-derived synthetic training data circumvents regulatory hurdles associated with collecting real paired patient depth images and radiographs.
