Abstract

Background

Transorbital Ultrasonography (TOS) is a promising imaging technology that can be used to characterize the structures of the optic nerve and the potential alterations that may occur in those structures as a result of an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) or the presence of other disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and hydrocephalus.

Objective

In this paper, the primary objective is to develop a fully automated system that is capable of segmenting and calculating the diameters of structures that are associated with the optic nerve in TOS images. These structures include the optic nerve diameter sheath (ONSD) and the optic nerve diameter (OND).

Methods

A fully convolutional neural network (FCN) model that has been pre-trained serves as the foundation for the segmentation method. The method that was developed was utilized to collect 464 different photographs from 110 different people, and it was accomplished with the assistance of four distinct pieces of apparatus.

Results

An examination was carried out to compare the outcomes of the automatic measurements with those of a manual operator. Both OND and ONSD have a typical inaccuracy of -0.12 0.32 mm and 0.14 0.58 mm, respectively, when compared to the operator. The Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) for OND is 0.71, while the coefficient for ONSD is 0.64, showing that there is a positive link between the two measuring tools.

Conclusion

A conclusion may be drawn that the technique that was developed is automatic, and the average error (AE) that was reached for the ONSD measurement is compatible with the ranges of inter-operator variability that have been discovered in the literature.
