用解耦学习分离运动伪影,提升脑组织分割精度。
Deformation-Aware Segmentation Network Robust to Motion Artifacts for Brain Tissue Segmentation using Disentanglement Learning
- 通过解耦学习逐步去除伪影,生成更清晰图像。
- 在儿童真实数据上,分割性能优于现有方法。
- 输出伪影区域图,可辅助医生判断图像质量。
长时间采集导致的运动伪影是磁共振成像(MRI)中影响脑组织分割准确性的主要挑战。这些伪影表现为模糊图像,外观类似组织,难以区分。本文提出一种新型深度学习框架,在存在伪影的情况下仍能实现优异的运动校正与脑组织分割。核心思想是:解耦学习网络逐步去除伪影,生成更清晰图像,从而提升联合训练的运动估计与分割网络的准确性。该网络输出三个结果:运动校正图像、运动形变图(识别伪影影响区域)、脑组织分割掩码。形变图作为引导信号,帮助模型恢复丢失信息或移除伪影引入的虚假结构。在儿科真实运动数据上的大量实验表明,本框架在分割运动伪影干扰的MRI图像方面显著优于现有先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Motion artifacts caused by prolonged acquisition time are a significant challenge in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), hindering accurate tissue segmentation. These artifacts appear as blurred images that mimic tissue-like appearances, making segmentation difficult. This study proposes a novel deep learning framework that demonstrates superior performance in both motion correction and robust brain tissue segmentation in the presence of artifacts. The core concept lies in a complementary process: a disentanglement learning network progressively removes artifacts, leading to cleaner images and consequently, more accurate segmentation by a jointly trained motion estimation and segmentation network. This network generates three outputs: a motioncorrected image, a motion deformation map that identifies artifact-affected regions, and a brain tissue segmentation mask. This deformation serves as a guidance mechanism for the disentanglement process, aiding the model in recovering lost information or removing artificial structures introduced by the artifacts. Extensive in-vivo experiments on pediatric motion data demonstrate that our proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods in segmenting motion-corrupted MRI scans.
