Abstract

This study develops a self-supervised Siamese model to predict the relative positions of patches from thoraco-abdominal CT scans, creating an explicit 3D universal coordinate system (UCS) for the human body. The model is evaluated through experiments on body part localization, landmark detection, and longitudinal lesion tracking. Despite the moderate performance of the UCS in these experiments, this model provides a proof-of-concept system for standardized anatomical coordinates. Such a system enables robust identification and comparison of anatomical structures across different individuals and longitudinally.
