- 提出潜空间距离度量,可关联临床表型用于个性化诊断
理解心脏结构与运动对诊断心血管疾病至关重要,此类疾病是全球死亡主因。心脏形态与运动存在广泛个体差异,受人口统计、人体测量及疾病因素影响。揭示正常形态与运动模式,并识别个体偏离程度,有助于精准诊断与个性化治疗。为此,我们开发了条件生成模型MeshHeart,学习左右心室的形态与运动分布。为处理高维时空网格数据,MeshHeart采用几何编码器将心脏网格映射至潜空间,再通过时间Transformer建模潜表示的运动动态。基于此,我们研究3D+t心脏网格序列的潜空间,提出潜空间差值(latent delta)度量,量化真实心脏与其个性化正常模式的偏差。在包含38,309名受试者的大规模英国生物银行心脏磁共振数据集上,MeshHeart表现出优异的网格序列重建与生成性能。潜空间特征在心脏病分类中具有判别力,而潜空间差值在表型组关联分析中与临床表型强相关。代码与训练模型已公开,支持后续研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding the structure and motion of the heart is crucial for diagnosing and managing cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of global death. There is wide variation in cardiac shape and motion patterns, influenced by demographic, anthropometric and disease factors. Unravelling normal patterns of shape and motion, and understanding how each individual deviates from the norm, would facilitate accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment strategies. To this end, we developed a conditional generative model, MeshHeart, to learn the distribution of shape and motion patterns for the left and right ventricles of the heart. To model the high-dimensional spatio-temporal mesh data, MeshHeart employs a geometric encoder to represent cardiac meshes in a latent space, and a temporal Transformer to model the motion dynamics of latent representations. Based on MeshHeart, we investigate the latent space of 3D+t cardiac mesh sequences and propose a distance metric, latent delta, which quantifies the deviation of a real heart from its personalised normative pattern. In experiments using a large cardiac magnetic resonance image dataset of 38,309 subjects from the UK Biobank, MeshHeart demonstrates high performance in cardiac mesh sequence reconstruction and generation. Latent space features are discriminative for cardiac disease classification, whereas latent delta exhibits strong correlations with clinical phenotypes in phenome-wide association studies. The code and the trained model are released to support further research.
