Purpose Preoperative three-dimensional planning is important for total hip arthroplasty. To simulate the placement of joint implants on computed tomography (CT), pelvis and femur must be segmented. Accurate and rapid segmentation of the hip joint is challenging. This study aimed to develop a novel deep learning network, named Changmugu Net (CMG Net), which could achieve accurate segmentation of the femur and pelvis. Methods The overall deep neural network architecture of CMG Net employed three interrelated modules. CMG Net included the 2D U-net to separate the bony and soft tissues. The modular hierarchy method was used for the main femur segmentation to achieve better performance. A layer classifier was adopted to localise femur layers among a series of CT scan images. The first module was a modified 2D U-net, which separated bony and soft tissues; it provided intermediate supervision for the main femur segmentation. The second module was the main femur segmentation, which was used to distinguish the femur from the acetabulum. The third module was the layer classifier, which served as a post-processor for the second module. Results There was a much greater overlap in accuracy results with the “gold standard” segmentation than with competing networks. The dice overlap coefficient was 93.55% ± 5.57%; the mean surface distance was 1.34 ± 0.24 mm, and the Hausdorff distance was 4.19 ± 1.04 mm in the normal and diseased hips, which indicated greater accuracy than the other four competing networks. Moreover, the mean segmentation time of CMG Net was 25.87 ± 2.73 s, which was shorter than the times of the other four networks. Conclusions The prominent segmentation accuracy and run-time of CMG Net suggest that it is a reliable method for clinicians to observe anatomical structures of the hip joints, even in severely diseased cases.
