Preserving Cardiac Integrity: A Topology-Infused Approach to Whole Heart Segmentation

  • 引入拓扑保持模块,通过3D卷积学习结构间自然约束
  • 在WHS++数据集上达到0.939的Dice系数,优于现有方法
  • 适合需要高精度心脏分割的临床诊断与治疗规划场景

全心脏分割(WHS)支持心血管疾病诊断、病情监测、治疗规划和预后评估。近年来深度学习已成为最广泛应用的方法。然而,全心脏结构分割面临诸多挑战:心脏在心动周期中的形状变化、运动伪影和信噪比低等临床干扰、多中心数据域偏移,以及CT与MRI模态差异。为解决这些问题并提升分割质量,本文提出一种新型拓扑保持模块,集成于深度神经网络中。该模块基于完全的3D卷积,通过学习拓扑保持场实现解剖上合理的分割,并在端到端训练中融入结构间的自然约束,增强网络特征表示。在开源医学心脏数据集WHS++上的实验表明,该方法表现优异,测试阶段取得0.939的Dice系数,表明个体结构实现完整拓扑保持,且显著优于其他基线方法在整体场景拓扑保持方面的表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Whole heart segmentation (WHS) supports cardiovascular disease (CVD) diagnosis, disease monitoring, treatment planning, and prognosis. Deep learning has become the most widely used method for WHS applications in recent years. However, segmentation of whole-heart structures faces numerous challenges including heart shape variability during the cardiac cycle, clinical artifacts like motion and poor contrast-to-noise ratio, domain shifts in multi-center data, and the distinct modalities of CT and MRI. To address these limitations and improve segmentation quality, this paper introduces a new topology-preserving module that is integrated into deep neural networks. The implementation achieves anatomically plausible segmentation by using learned topology-preserving fields, which are based entirely on 3D convolution and are therefore very effective for 3D voxel data. We incorporate natural constraints between structures into the end-to-end training and enrich the feature representation of the neural network. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated on an open-source medical heart dataset, specifically using the WHS++ data. The results demonstrate that the architecture performs exceptionally well, achieving a Dice coefficient of 0.939 during testing. This indicates full topology preservation for individual structures and significantly outperforms other baselines in preserving the overall scene topology.
