用相关性一致性提升心房磁共振分割,兼顾全局结构与局部细节。

Leveraging CORAL-Correlation Consistency Network for Semi-Supervised Left Atrium MRI Segmentation

  • 基于二阶统计信息捕捉心房整体形状与局部特征
  • 在左心房数据集上达到最新最佳性能,显著优于现有方法
  • 适合医学图像分割中标签稀缺场景,尤其关注复杂解剖结构

半监督学习(SSL)被广泛用于从少量标注图像和大量未标注图像中学习,以缓解医学图像分割中标注样本稀缺的问题。现有多数基于SSL的分割方法直接利用像素值识别标注与未标注数据间的相似特征,难以准确捕捉左心房中密度不一致或向外弯曲等复杂连接结构,增加任务难度。本文提出一种新方法CORAL-相关性一致性网络(CORN),通过第二阶统计信息在特征空间中最小化标注与未标注样本的分布差异,从而捕获左心房的全局结构与局部细节。针对未标注数据特征构建易引入“样本选择偏差”的问题,进一步设计动态特征池(DFP),采用置信度筛选策略剔除错误特征,并通过约束相似性矩阵的一致性来正则化教师与学生模型。在左心房数据集上的大量实验表明,所提CORN方法显著优于现有最先进半监督学习方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has been widely used to learn from both a few labeled images and many unlabeled images to overcome the scarcity of labeled samples in medical image segmentation. Most current SSL-based segmentation methods use pixel values directly to identify similar features in labeled and unlabeled data. They usually fail to accurately capture the intricate attachment structures in the left atrium, such as the areas of inconsistent density or exhibit outward curvatures, adding to the complexity of the task. In this paper, we delve into this issue and introduce an effective solution, CORAL(Correlation-Aligned)-Correlation Consistency Network (CORN), to capture the global structure shape and local details of Left Atrium. Diverging from previous methods focused on each local pixel value, the CORAL-Correlation Consistency Module (CCM) in the CORN leverages second-order statistical information to capture global structural features by minimizing the distribution discrepancy between labeled and unlabeled samples in feature space. Yet, direct construction of features from unlabeled data frequently results in ``Sample Selection Bias'', leading to flawed supervision. We thus further propose the Dynamic Feature Pool (DFP) for the CCM, which utilizes a confidence-based filtering strategy to remove incorrectly selected features and regularize both teacher and student models by constraining the similarity matrix to be consistent. Extensive experiments on the Left Atrium dataset have shown that the proposed CORN outperforms previous state-of-the-art semi-supervised learning methods.
