MsMorph: An Unsupervised pyramid learning network for brain image registration
- 基于梯度特征差分实现多尺度语义解码与变形场补偿
- 在LPBA和Mindboggle数据集上各项指标均超越现有方法
- 模拟人工配准流程,适合需高可解释性的医学影像研究
在医学图像分析中,图像配准是一项关键技术。尽管已有众多配准模型被提出,但现有方法在精度和可解释性方面仍存在不足。本文提出MsMorph,一种基于深度学习的图像配准框架,旨在模仿人工配准过程,使图像对间形变更一致、特征更相似。通过在不同维度上提取图像对间的特征差异(利用梯度),该框架在多尺度上解码语义信息,并持续补偿预测的变形场,推动参数优化以显著提升配准精度。该方法模拟人工配准过程,聚焦图像对及其邻域的不同区域来预测变形场,具有强可解释性。我们在两个公开脑部MRI数据集LPBA和Mindboggle上对比了多种现有方法,实验结果表明,本方法在Dice分数、Hausdorff距离、平均对称表面距离及非雅可比行列式等指标上均持续优于当前最优方法。源代码已公开于https://github.com/GaodengFan/MsMorph。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the field of medical image analysis, image registration is a crucial technique. Despite the numerous registration models that have been proposed, existing methods still fall short in terms of accuracy and interpretability. In this paper, we present MsMorph, a deep learning-based image registration framework aimed at mimicking the manual process of registering image pairs to achieve more similar deformations, where the registered image pairs exhibit consistency or similarity in features. By extracting the feature differences between image pairs across various as-pects using gradients, the framework decodes semantic information at different scales and continuously compen-sates for the predicted deformation field, driving the optimization of parameters to significantly improve registration accuracy. The proposed method simulates the manual approach to registration, focusing on different regions of the image pairs and their neighborhoods to predict the deformation field between the two images, which provides strong interpretability. We compared several existing registration methods on two public brain MRI datasets, including LPBA and Mindboggle. The experimental results show that our method consistently outperforms state of the art in terms of metrics such as Dice score, Hausdorff distance, average symmetric surface distance, and non-Jacobian.
