Abstract
A machine-based learning method estimates a probability of bone fractures in a 3D image, more specifically vertebral fractures. The method and system utilizing such method utilize a data-driven computational model to learn 3D image features for classifying vertebra fractures. A three-dimensional medical image analysis system for predicting a presence of a vertebral fracture in a subject includes a 3D image processor for receiving and processing 3D image data of a 3D image of the subject, producing two or more sets of 3D voxels. Each of the sets of 3D voxels corresponds to an entirety of the 3D image and each of the sets of 3D voxels consists of equal 3D voxels of different dimensions. The system also includes a voxel classifier for assigning the 3D voxels one or more class probabilities each of the 3D voxels contains a fracture using a computational model, and a fracture probability estimator for estimating a probability of the presence of a vertebral fracture in the subject.
