Abstract

Purpose: A deep learning technique was used to analyze the triceps surae muscle. The devised interpolation method was used to determine muscle’s volume and verify the usefulness of the method. Materials and Methods: Thirty-eight T1-weighted cross-sectional magnetic resonance images of the triceps of the lower leg were divided into three classes, i.e., gastrocnemius lateralis (GL), gastrocnemius medialis (GM), and soleus (SOL), and the regions of interest (ROIs) were manually defined. The supervised images were classified as per each patient. A total of 1199 images were prepared. Six different datasets separated patient-wise were prepared for K-fold cross-validation. A network model of the DeepLabv3+ was used for training. The images generated by the created model were divided as per each patient and classified into each muscle types. The model performance and the interpolation method were evaluated by calculating the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and error rates of the volume of the predicted and interpolated images, respectively. Results: The mean DSCs for the predicted images were >0.81 for GM and SOL and 0.71 for GL. The mean error rates for volume were approximately 11% for GL, SOL, and total error and 23% for GL. DSCs in the interpolated images were >0.8 for all muscles. The mean error rates of volume were <10% for GL, SOL, and total error and 18% for GM. There was no significant difference between the volumes obtained from the supervised images and interpolated images. Conclusions: Using the semantic segmentation of the deep learning technique, the triceps were detected with high accuracy and the interpolation method used in this study to find the volume was useful.
