用深度回归实现肝肿瘤消融术中实时2D-3D超声配准,抗呼吸运动干扰。
Deep Regression 2D-3D Ultrasound Registration for Liver Motion Correction in Focal Tumor Thermal Ablation
- 设计深度回归模型,融合不均衡的2D/3D超声特征,用6维旋转表示提升训练稳定
- 配准误差仅2.28±1.81mm,角误差2.99±1.95°,每对图像处理仅需0.22秒
- 适合临床实时引导肝肿瘤热消融,尤其对超声显影差的病例有实用价值
肝肿瘤消融需精准定位针尖至病灶中心。超声(US)成本低、实时性好,优于CT用于导引,但部分患者肿瘤在超声下隐匿,伪影易混淆病灶识别。图像配准可辅助解析解剖结构、定位肿瘤,但临床应用受限于配准精度与运行效率的权衡,尤其在患者呼吸或移动导致肝脏运动时。为此,本文提出一种2D-3D超声配准方法,实现术中实时校正。通过深度回归模型关联不平衡的2D与3D超声特征,并采用连续6维旋转表示增强训练稳定性。数据集含2388、196和193对用于训练、验证与测试。实验结果表明,该方法平均欧氏距离误差为2.28 mm ± 1.81 mm,平均测地角误差为2.99° ± 1.95°,单对图像处理耗时0.22秒。结果证明其具备高精度与临床可接受的实时性能,具转化潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Liver tumor ablation procedures require accurate placement of the needle applicator at the tumor centroid. The lower-cost and real-time nature of ultrasound (US) has advantages over computed tomography (CT) for applicator guidance, however, in some patients, liver tumors may be occult on US and tumor mimics can make lesion identification challenging. Image registration techniques can aid in interpreting anatomical details and identifying tumors, but their clinical application has been hindered by the tradeoff between alignment accuracy and runtime performance, particularly when compensating for liver motion due to patient breathing or movement. Therefore, we propose a 2D-3D US registration approach to enable intra-procedural alignment that mitigates errors caused by liver motion. Specifically, our approach can correlate imbalanced 2D and 3D US image features and use continuous 6D rotation representations to enhance the model's training stability. The dataset was divided into 2388, 196 and 193 image pairs for training, validation and testing, respectively. Our approach achieved a mean Euclidean distance error of 2.28 mm $\pm$ 1.81 mm and a mean geodesic angular error of 2.99$^{\circ}$ $\pm$ 1.95$^{\circ}$, with a runtime of 0.22 seconds per 2D-3D US image pair. These results demonstrate that our approach can achieve accurate alignment and clinically acceptable runtime, indicating potential for clinical translation.
