Summary

The paper introduces RibAssist 3D, a method for biplanar rib-fracture detection and 3D localization from CT projections, identifying cross-view correspondence as a key bottleneck in accuracy.

Rib fractures are common and time-consuming to localize on computed tomography (CT). We ask whether fractures detected independently in two orthogonal CT-derived projections (anteroposterior and lateral) can be paired across views and triangulated into reliable 3D points at a controlled rate of false outputs, and we answer it with a staged diagnostic study. The projection geometry is exact, and given correct correspondence, localization is accurate (median 4.0 mm, 88% within 10 mm, 93.6% rib-exact). On a sealed 55-case cohort, a large share of fractures is in principle recoverable (61.1% dual-view availability, and a correct pair present in the candidate graph for 58.4% of fractures), yet the binding limitation is neither geometry nor localization but confidence-limited cross-view correspondence. A controlled detector-by-correspondence factorial attributes the operational gain to lateral-detector quality rather than the tested matching methods; retraining the lateral detector produces the first nonzero controlled-budget reconstructions. Under a deliberately conservative commitment policy, a pre-specified sealed pass promotes 15 of 601 fractures to correct 3D localizations at 0.436 false points per case (2.50% end-to-end commitment yield), and committed points are accurate (median 1.49 mm, 93% rib-exact). The low yield is a consequence of confidence-gated abstention, not of geometry or detection: the study establishes a reproducible framework for selective 3D localization and identifies cross-view correspondence as the dominant operational bottleneck.

Abstract

Cross-view pairing of rib fractures in orthogonal CT projections enables accurate 3D localization, but correspondence confidence remains the primary bottleneck.

Rib fractures are common and time-consuming to localize on computed tomography (CT). We ask whether fractures detected independently in two orthogonal CT-derived projections (anteroposterior and lateral) can be paired across views and triangulated into reliable 3D points at a controlled rate of false outputs, and we answer it with a staged diagnostic study. The projection geometry is exact, and given correct correspondence, localization is accurate (median 4.0 mm, 88% within 10 mm, 93.6% rib-exact). On a sealed 55-case cohort, a large share of fractures is in principle recoverable (61.1% dual-view availability, and a correct pair present in the candidate graph for 58.4% of fractures), yet the binding limitation is neither geometry nor localization but confidence-limitedcross-view correspondence. A controlled detector-by-correspondence factorial attributes the operational gain to lateral-detector quality rather than the tested matching methods; retraining the lateral detector produces the first nonzero controlled-budget reconstructions. Under a deliberately conservative commitment policy, a pre-specified sealed pass promotes 15 of 601 fractures to correct3D localizations at 0.436 false points per case (2.50% end-to-end commitment yield), and committed points are accurate (median 1.49 mm, 93% rib-exact). The low yield is a consequence ofconfidence-gated abstention, not of geometry or detection: the study establishes a reproducible framework for selective3D localizationand identifiescross-view correspondenceas the dominant operational bottleneck.
