A BONE MECHANICAL STUDY INTEGRATED BY DEEP-LEARNING METHOD AND MECHANICAL MODELING

  • 摘要: 骨缺损是骨科临床常见且复杂的疾患, 根据患者体内缺损区骨组织力学性能, 设计生物力学性能匹配的个性化骨假体, 有望提升临床骨缺损诊疗的水平. 然而, 当前的个性化骨缺损诊疗, 在体内骨组织微观结构分析、非均质各向异性力学行为表征和建模等方面存在诸多问题, 难以实现生物力学性能的适配, 导致骨重建效果不佳. 针对上述问题, 提出了一种融合数据驱动与力学建模的骨缺损重建方法, 以实现临床条件下骨组织力学性能的准确表征. 首先, 以羊股骨远端为对象, 提出了基于临床CT影像的多神经网络模型, 通过建立低分辨率临床CT下的宏观骨密度分布与micro-CT下松质骨微结构形态特征的映射关系, 能够直接通过临床CT对体内骨组织非均匀骨密度分布和结构张量等组织形态学参数进行准确预测. 其次, 建立了基于非均匀骨密度和结构张量的松质骨各向异性本构模型和实验表征方法. 通过贝叶斯反演识别本构模型参数, 修正了实验中由于材料主方向与加载方向偏离引入的系统误差. 实验结果验证了所建立本构模型与参数反演方法的准确性, 并揭示了不同部位松质骨力学行为与微结构生长方向的关系. 文章通过深度学习与力学建模融合的骨力学性能研究, 解决了临床医学影像下松质骨微观结构分析的难题, 为个性化骨假体的设计奠定了基础.

     

    Abstract: Bone defects are common and complex conditions in orthopedic clinics. Designing personalized bone implants with biomechanical properties that match the mechanical properties of the bone tissue in the patient's defect area holds great promise for desired bone defect reconstruction. However, the current design of personalized bone implants faces numerous challenges in the microstructural analysis of bone tissues in vivo, the characterization and modeling of heterogeneous anisotropic mechanical behavior, making it difficult to achieve mechanical property matching, which results in suboptimal bone reconstruction outcomes. To address these issues, this paper establishes an integrated approach combining data-driven and mechanical modeling for the mechanical theory, computation, and experimental methods of bone defect reconstruction, enabling accurate characterization of the mechanical properties of bone tissue under clinical conditions. Firstly, the distal femoral bone tissues of sheep are adopted as the experimental subject, a data-driven model for accurately predicting the morphological parameters of cancellous bone tissue under clinical CT imaging was proposed. A multi-neural network model combining high-resolution micro-CT and clinical CT was established. By correlating the macroscopic bone density distribution from low-resolution clinical CT and the microstructural morphological characteristics of cancellous bone from high-resolution micro-CT, a mapping relationship between bone density distribution and microstructural characteristics was established, which realized the accurate prediction of morphological parameters such as heterogeneous bone density distribution and fabric tensor of in vivo bone tissue using clinical CT. Furthermore, an anisotropic constitutive model and a Bayesian calibrated experimental method for cancellous bone based on heterogeneous bone density and fabric tensor were developed, which revealed the relationship between the mechanical behavior of cancellous bone at different locations and the growth direction of its microstructure. Combining a Bayesian-based method for identifying constitutive model parameters, the systematic errors introduced by the deviation between the principal material direction and the loading direction in cancellous bone experiments were corrected. The accuracy of the established constitutive model and parameter identification method was validated through experiments, addressing the challenges of microstructural analysis of cancellous bone under clinical medical imaging, and lays the foundation for the design of personalized bone implants.
