提出一种符合医学扫描特点的轴向增强方法,提升分割精度且易被医生理解。

Intuitive Axial Augmentation Using Polar-Sine-Based Piecewise Distortion for Medical Slice-Wise Segmentation

  • 基于极坐标正弦分段仿射变形,模拟人体躺姿不确定性
  • 在多个分割框架上提升准确率,无需额外数据
  • 设计直观,适合临床医生信任与应用

多数医学图像分析的数据驱动模型依赖通用增强策略来提升精度。尽管实验已证实其有效性,但其作用机制不明确,阻碍了医疗界对这些方法的广泛接受与信任。本文重新审视医学图像与普通数字图像的差异,提出一种面向医学场景的专用增强算法,更具弹性且贴合放射科扫描流程。该方法在极坐标下沿半径方向采用正弦分段仿射扭曲,模拟患者平躺在扫描床上时可能产生的体位不确定性。生成的图像能保持轴向平面内器官相对位置不变,仅改变分布形态。引入两种非自适应算法——基于元学习的扫描台去除和相似性引导参数搜索,以增强方法鲁棒性。相比其他方法,本方案设计直观,便于医学专业人士理解,提升临床适用性。实验表明,该方法在多种主流分割框架中,跨两种模态均显著提升精度,且无需增加数据样本。预览代码已开源:https://github.com/MGAMZ/PSBPD。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Most data-driven models for medical image analysis rely on universal augmentations to improve accuracy. Experimental evidence has confirmed their effectiveness, but the unclear mechanism underlying them poses a barrier to the widespread acceptance and trust in such methods within the medical community. We revisit and acknowledge the unique characteristics of medical images apart from traditional digital images, and consequently, proposed a medical-specific augmentation algorithm that is more elastic and aligns well with radiology scan procedure. The method performs piecewise affine with sinusoidal distorted ray according to radius on polar coordinates, thus simulating uncertain postures of human lying flat on the scanning table. Our method could generate human visceral distribution without affecting the fundamental relative position on axial plane. Two non-adaptive algorithms, namely Meta-based Scan Table Removal and Similarity-Guided Parameter Search, are introduced to bolster robustness of our augmentation method. In contrast to other methodologies, our method is highlighted for its intuitive design and ease of understanding for medical professionals, thereby enhancing its applicability in clinical scenarios. Experiments show our method improves accuracy with two modality across multiple famous segmentation frameworks without requiring more data samples. Our preview code is available in: https://github.com/MGAMZ/PSBPD.
