The approach incorporates a Statistical Shape Model of dentition as a geometric prior, enabling the model to capture anatomical context and morphological consistency without imposing rigid spatial constraints. To handle the complexity of narrow root structures, GEPAR3D employs a deep watershed technique that represents each tooth as a continuous 3D energy basin encoding voxel distances to boundaries \u2014 an instance-aware formulation that proves particularly effective for challenging apex regions.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-cbPeZ2\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Trained on publicly available CBCT data from a single center and evaluated across four external test sets from both in-house and public medical institutions, GEPAR3D demonstrates strong generalization. The method achieves a mean Dice Similarity Coefficient of 95.0% \u2014 2.8 percentage points above the next best approach \u2014 and a recall of 95.2%, representing a 9.5-point improvement. Qualitative results further confirm meaningful gains in root segmentation quality, pointing to real clinical potential for more reliable root resorption assessment and improved orthodontic decision support.

The procedure aims to locate and eradicate abnormal vascular connections to normalize the blood distribution between the twins. Yet, fetoscopic operations are technically demanding, primarily due to poor visibility, and significant variability among patients and domains.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-RlsQgH\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">To advance the visualization capabilities during these interventions, we have introduced TTTSNet, a specialized network designed to segment placental vessels accurately in real-time. This network integrates innovative elements such as a channel attention module and a feature fusion module that operates at multiple scales, ensuring detailed and precise imaging of the placental vessels, including the smaller ones. Additionally, to overcome the typical visual disturbances encountered during FLP, such as those caused by the fiberscope and amniotic debris, we implemented advanced data augmentation strategies. These strategies effectively recreate various surgical artifacts in the training data, enhancing the model's ability to generalize across different scenarios.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-qgykSO\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">TTTSNet was rigorously trained on a dataset comprising 2060 video frames from 18 distinct fetoscopic surgeries and further validated on an external dataset from 24 in-vivo procedures, which included 2348 video frames. The results were superior to those of current leading methods, achieving a mean Intersection over Union (IoU) of 78.26% across all detected vessels, and 73.35% for smaller vessels specifically. The performance rates of 172 frames per second on an A100 GPU and 152 frames per second on a Clara AGX platform demonstrate the potential of TTTSNet to support real-time surgical applications.

This study presents DeCode, a novel conditioning approach that leverages label-derived features to dynamically support the decoder during the reconstruction process \u2014 with the goal of improving both training efficiency and segmentation quality.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-RauE4y\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">At the core of DeCode is the use of conditioning embeddings built from learned numerical representations of 3D label shape features. During training, these embeddings guide the network toward more robust segmentation. At inference time, when labels are unavailable, the model predicts the necessary conditioning information directly from the input, using a feed-forward network trained alongside the main model.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-bx43Al\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">DeCode was evaluated on synthetic data and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of teeth, using three CBCT datasets \u2014 one public and two in-house. The results demonstrate that DeCode consistently outperforms unconditioned baseline models in generalization to new data, achieving higher accuracy at a lower computational cost. This work is the first to explore conditioning strategies specifically in the context of 3D segmentation, offering a more efficient way to make use of annotated training data.
