Abstract

PURPOSE: Statistical shape models (SSMs) are widely used for morphological assessment of anatomical structures. However, a key limitation is the need for a clear relationship between the model's shape coefficients and clinically relevant anatomical parameters. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a novel deep learning-based anatomically parameterized SSM (DL-ANATSSM) by introducing a no…
