Multi-Parameter Molecular MRI Quantification using Physics-Informed Self-Supervised Learning

  • 将微分方程求解器改造为可自动微分的解析形式,支持梯度优化
  • 4名受试者全脑定量耗时18.3±8.3分钟,单次推理仅需1.0±0.2秒
  • 无需大量标注数据,适合临床快速获取脑部代谢参数

生物物理模型拟合在从生理信号和图像中获取定量参数方面起着关键作用。然而,分子磁共振成像(MRI)的模型复杂性常导致计算时间过长,难以临床应用。本文提出一种通用计算方法,解决由常微分方程(ODE)建模与系统动态实验测量共同构成的参数提取逆问题。通过将数值ODE求解器设计为逐步解析形式,使其兼容基于自动微分的优化,从而实现高效的梯度驱动模型拟合,并提出一种基于单次观测数据的自监督学习量化新方法。采用神经网络训练-拟合流程,在4名受试者的在体分子MRI研究中,成功量化了半固体磁化转移(MT)和化学位移饱和转移(CEST)酰胺质子交换参数。首次完成全脑定量的整个流程耗时18.3±8.3分钟;复用单个受试者训练的网络进行新受试者推断仅需1.0±0.2秒,结果与文献值及扫描特异性拟合结果一致。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Biophysical model fitting plays a key role in obtaining quantitative parameters from physiological signals and images. However, the model complexity for molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) often translates into excessive computation time, which makes clinical use impractical. Here, we present a generic computational approach for solving the parameter extraction inverse problem posed by ordinary differential equation (ODE) modeling coupled with experimental measurement of the system dynamics. This is achieved by formulating a numerical ODE solver to function as a step-wise analytical one, thereby making it compatible with automatic differentiation-based optimization. This enables efficient gradient-based model fitting, and provides a new approach to parameter quantification based on self-supervised learning from a single data observation. The neural-network-based train-by-fit pipeline was used to quantify semisolid magnetization transfer (MT) and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) amide proton exchange parameters in the human brain, in an in-vivo molecular MRI study (n = 4). The entire pipeline of the first whole brain quantification was completed in 18.3 $\pm$ 8.3 minutes. Reusing the single-subject-trained network for inference in new subjects took 1.0 $\pm$ 0.2 s, to provide results in agreement with literature values and scan-specific fit results.
