BackgroundCone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) images provide high‐resolution insights into the underlying craniofacial anomaly in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP), requiring non‐negligible annotation costs to measure the cleft defect for the guidance of the clinical secondary alveolar bone graft procedures. Considering the cumbersome volumetric image acquisition, there is a lack of paired CLP CBCTs and normal CBCTs for learning‐based anatomical structure restoration models. Nowadays, the registration‐based method relieves the annotation burden, though one‐shot registration and the regular mask are limited to handling fine‐grained shape variations and harmony between restored bony tissues and the defected maxilla.PurposeThis study aimed to design and evaluate a novel method for deformable partial registration of the CLP CBCTs and normal CBCTs, enabling personalized maxilla completion and cleft defect volume prediction from CLP CBCTs.MethodsWe proposed an adaptable deep registration framework for personalized maxilla completion and cleft defect volume prediction from CLP CBCTs. The key ingredient was a cascaded partial registration to exploit the maxillary morphology prior and attribute transfer. Cascaded registration with coarse‐to‐fine registration fields handled morphological variations of cleft defects and fine‐grained maxillary restoration. We designed an adaptable cleft defect mask and volumetric Boolean operators for reliable voxel filling of the defected maxilla. A total of 36 clinically obtained CLP CBCTs were used to train and validate the proposed model, among which 22 CLP CBCTs were used to generate a training dataset with 440 synthetic CBCTs by B‐spline deformation‐based data augmentation and the remaining for testing. The proposed model was evaluated on maxilla completion and cleft defect volume prediction from clinically obtained unilateral and bilateral CLP CBCTs.ResultsExtensive experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of the adaptable cleft defect mask and the cascaded partial registration on maxilla completion and cleft defect volume prediction. The proposed method achieved state‐of‐the‐art performances with the Dice similarity coefficient of 0.90 0.02 on the restored maxilla and 0.84 0.04 on the estimated cleft defect, respectively. The average Hausdorff distance between the estimated cleft defect and the manually annotated ground truth was 0.30 0.08 mm. The relative volume error of the cleft defect was 0.08. The proposed model allowed for the prediction of cleft defect maps that were in line with the ground truth in the challenging unilateral and bilateral CLP CBCTs.ConclusionsThe results suggest that the proposed adaptable deep registration model enables patient‐specific maxilla completion and automatic annotation of cleft defects, relieving tedious voxel‐wise annotation and image acquisition burdens.
