| Abstract | In this paper, we present an original method for the three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the scoliotic rib cage from a planar and a conventional pair of calibrated radiographic images (postero-anterior with normal incidence and lateral). To this end, we first present a robust method for estimating the model parameters in a mixture of probabilistic principal component analyzers (PPCA). This method is based on the stochastic expectation maximization (SEM) algorithm. Parameters of this mixture model are used to constrain the 3-D biplanar reconstruction problem of scoliotic rib cage. More precisely, the proposed PPCA mixture model is exploited for dimensionality reduction and to obtain a set of probabilistic prior models associated with each detected class of pathological deformations observed on a representative training scoliotic rib cage population. By using an appropriate likelihood, for each considered class-conditional prior model, the proposed 3-D reconstruction is stated as an energy function minimization problem, which is solved with an exploration/selection algorithm. The optimal 3-D reconstruction then corresponds to the class of deformation and parameters leading to the minimal energy. This 3-D method of reconstruction has been successfully tested and validated on a database of 20 pairs of biplanar radiographic images of scoliotic patients, yielding very promising results. As an alternative to computed tomography-scan 3-D reconstruction this scheme has the advantage of low radiation for the patient, and may also be used for diagnosis and evaluation of deformity of a scoliotic rib cage. The proposed method remains sufficiently general to be applied to other reconstruction problems for which a database of objects to be reconstructed is available (with two or more radiographic views). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
