(a) Raw example of a dynamic digital radiograph. (b) Contrast equalization using contrast-limited adaptive equalization shows improved anatomical visualization. (c) Training data is generated through manually labeling using SLEAP’s graphical user interface. (d-e) Neural network detection schematic. For each quadrant a series of two networks were used. The first identifies the quadrant center, the second using input of the first, then identifies individual anatomical landmarks within a quadrant. (d) Four neural networks were trained, each with the objective of identifying a chest quadrant centroid. The four separate quadrants are visualized as colored boxes (right upper quadrant, green; right lower quadrant, blue; left upper quadrant, red; left lower quadrant, yellow). (e) Serial centroid then anatomical identification. Two quadrant examples showing confidence maps of trained neural networks identifying quadrant centroids (left) and then anatomical confidence maps (right).
