用联邦学习+差分隐私保护病理图像隐私,精度损失仅1%以内。

FedDP: Privacy-preserving method based on federated learning for histopathology image segmentation

  • 在不集中数据的前提下,多机构协作训练分割模型。
  • 引入差分隐私使精度下降不足1%,Dice等指标保持高位。
  • 适合需要跨医院共享病理数据的医疗AI研究者。

苏木精-伊红(H&E)染色的全切片图像(WSIs)是病理学家进行肿瘤诊断、手术规划和术后评估的金标准。随着深度学习的发展,基于卷积神经网络和基于Transformer的模型已广泛应用于WSI的精准分割。然而,由于隐私法规要求及患者信息保护需求,图像数据的集中存储与处理不可行,直接训练集中式模型在医疗场景中难以实施。本文通过联邦学习框架应对医学图像数据分散且敏感的问题,使医疗机构可在不共享原始数据的情况下协同建模。此外,为防止训练过程中梯度反演导致原始数据重建,引入差分隐私,在模型更新中加入噪声,阻止攻击者推断单个样本的贡献,从而保障训练数据隐私。实验表明,所提方法FedDP在保护癌症病理图像隐私的同时,仅使Dice、Jaccard和Acc指标分别下降0.55%、0.63%和0.42%,几乎不影响模型性能。该方法促进了跨机构合作与知识共享,为医疗领域进一步研究与应用提供了可行方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining of whole slide images (WSIs) is considered the gold standard for pathologists and medical practitioners for tumor diagnosis, surgical planning, and post-operative assessment. With the rapid advancement of deep learning technologies, the development of numerous models based on convolutional neural networks and transformer-based models has been applied to the precise segmentation of WSIs. However, due to privacy regulations and the need to protect patient confidentiality, centralized storage and processing of image data are impractical. Training a centralized model directly is challenging to implement in medical settings due to these privacy concerns.This paper addresses the dispersed nature and privacy sensitivity of medical image data by employing a federated learning framework, allowing medical institutions to collaboratively learn while protecting patient privacy. Additionally, to address the issue of original data reconstruction through gradient inversion during the federated learning training process, differential privacy introduces noise into the model updates, preventing attackers from inferring the contributions of individual samples, thereby protecting the privacy of the training data.Experimental results show that the proposed method, FedDP, minimally impacts model accuracy while effectively safeguarding the privacy of cancer pathology image data, with only a slight decrease in Dice, Jaccard, and Acc indices by 0.55%, 0.63%, and 0.42%, respectively. This approach facilitates cross-institutional collaboration and knowledge sharing while protecting sensitive data privacy, providing a viable solution for further research and application in the medical field.
