Purpose: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spine deformity governed by lateral curvature and axial vertebral rotation (AVR). Estimating AVR is important for treatment decisions and the prediction of AIS progression. However, manual AVR measurements have intra-observer and inter-observer errors, and therefore this paper proposes an automatic AVR measurement method to address the low precision issue of manual measurement. Method: We develop an improved feature extraction module for vertebral landmark detection and pedicle segmentation. The improved coordinate convolution layer combined Polarized Self-Attention mechanism is applied in the feature extraction module to help the High-resolution Network to extract coordinate information. Based on vertebral landmark detection and pedicle segmentation, we propose an automatic AVR measurement algorithm to estimate the AVR. Results: The mean radial error (MRE) of vertebral landmark detection is 2.70 mm pixels, and the dice coefficient of pedicle segmentation is 72.45%. Compared with the original model, the MRE decreases by 2.13 mm, and the dice coefficient improves by 4.61%. For the AVR measurement results, the testing set contains 37 spine radiographs, including 481 vertebrae and 962 AVR measurements (481 vertebrae by two observers). The average measurement error is lower than 5 degrees, which is within the standard of clinical measurement error. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that the proposed network performs well in vertebral landmark detection and pedicle segmentation, and the proposed AVR measurement is adopted for clinic diagnosis of AIS. Significance: Our method achieves automatic AVR measurement, reducing the error introduced by manual measurement and improving the efficiency of orthopedists.
