This can be a long process resulting in an in- crease in operation time and ionizing radiation exposure. Our purpose in this study is to implement a machine learning system for predicting the position of the C-arm based on the intraoperative radiographs. The prediction is achieved by training a Deep Learning Network based on Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs. We first showed a high prediction accuracy (4.5 mm and 1.1o) when patient-specific training was implemented. Additionally, we demonstrated a similar range of accuracy by applying transfer-learning on the last lay- ers of the network while reducing the processing time by 83%. In conclusion, in this study, we propose a C-arm position prediction system based on machine learning that can po- tentially reduce the number of intraoperatively acquired X-rays in a common orthopaedic surgical procedure.Keyphrases: c arm, convolutional neural network, deep learning, pelvis, pose estimation, transfer learning In: Ferdinando Rodriguez Y Baena and Fabio Tatti (editors).
