PURPOSE: The conventional method to reconstruct the bone level for orbital defects, which is based on mirroring and manual adaptation, is time-consuming and the accuracy highly depends on the expertise of the clinical engineer. The aim of this study is to propose and evaluate an automated reconstruction method utilizing a Gaussian process morphable model (GPMM).
METHODS: Sixty-five Computed Tomography (CT) scans of healthy midfaces were used to create a GPMM that can model shape variations of the orbital region. Parameter optimization was performed by evaluating several quantitative metrics inspired on the shape modeling literature, e.g. generalization and specificity. The reconstruction error was estimated by reconstructing artificial defects created in orbits from fifteen CT scans that were not included in the GPMM. The developed algorithms utilize the existing framework of Gaussian process morphable models, as implemented in the Scalismo software.
RESULTS: By evaluating the proposed quality metrics, adequate parameters are chosen for non-rigid registration and reconstruction. The resulting median reconstruction error using the GPMM was lower (0.35 ± 0.16 mm) compared to the mirroring method (0.52 ± 0.18 mm). In addition, the GPMM-based reconstruction is automated and can be applied to large bilateral defects with a median reconstruction error of 0.39 ± 0.11 mm.
CONCLUSION: The GPMM-based reconstruction proves to be less time-consuming and more accurate than reconstruction by mirroring. Further validation through clinical studies on patients with orbital defects is warranted. Nevertheless, the results underscore the potential of GPMM-based reconstruction as a promising alternative for designing patient-specific implants.
