abstract = {We explored ultrasound for imaging bones, specifically the spine, as a safer and more accessible alternative to conventional X-ray. We aimed to improve how well deep learning segmentation models filter bone signals from ultrasound frames with the goal of using these segmented images for reconstructing the 3-dimensional spine volume.Our dataset consisted of spatially tracked ultrasound scans from 25 patients. Image frames from these scans were also manually annotated to provide training data for image segmentation deep learning. To find the optimal automatic segmentation method, we assessed five different artificial neural network models and their variations by hyperparameter tuning. Our main contribution is a new approach for model selection, employing an Elo rating system to efficiently rank trained models based on their visual performance as assessed by clinical users. This method addresses the …},
