Original Abstract

The optimal rotational alignment of brain Computed Tomography (CT) images to a required standard position has a crucial importance for both automatic and manual diagnostic analysis. In this contribution, we present a novel two-step iterative approach for the automatic 3D rotational alignment of brain CT data. The angles of axial and coronal rotations are determined by an unsupervised by localisation of the Midsagittal Plane (MSP) method. This includes detection and pairing of medially symmetrical feature points. The sagittal rotation angle is subsequently estimated by regression convolutional neural network (CNN). The proposed methodology has been evaluated on a dataset of CT data manually aligned by radiologists. It has been shown that the algorithm achieved the low error of estimated rotations (1 degree) and in a significantly shorter time than the experts (2 minutes per case).
