Benchmarking Self-Supervised Learning Methods for Accelerated MRI Reconstruction
- 提出可扩展的SSIBench框架,支持无真实图像下多种自监督方法对比
- 在7种真实场景中评估18种方法,发现不同任务下排名差异显著
- 开源工具链降低研究门槛,推动可复现与跨领域应用
从高度欠采样数据中重建MRI对加速医学成像至关重要,但因逆问题病态性而极具挑战。尽管监督深度学习已取得显著成果,但其依赖全采样真值图像,而此类数据在实际中往往难以获取。这促使自监督学习方法兴起,无需真值即可训练。尽管近期方法已接近监督“基准”性能,但缺乏系统性比较与标准实验设置,限制了方法研究并阻碍行业可信采用。本文提出SSIBench,一个模块化、灵活的自监督成像(SSI)方法统一评测框架,无需真值图像。我们在真实数据上针对7种现实MRI场景评估了18种近期方法,揭示了广泛的表现差异,且方法排名随场景与评价指标变化,暴露了进一步研究的必要性。我们的分析还表明,互补方法可结合使用,为此提出一种新损失——多算子等变成像。为加速可复现研究并降低入门门槛,我们开放了可扩展的基准工具与所有方法的开源重实现,地址为https://github.com/Andrewwango/ssibench,支持研究者在标准化设置下快速贡献与评估新方法,或在自定义数据集、前向算子或模型上评测现有方法,从而推动自监督成像在4D MRI及其他新兴科学成像模态中的应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reconstructing MRI from highly undersampled measurements is crucial for accelerating medical imaging, but is challenging due to the ill-posedness of the inverse problem. While supervised deep learning (DL) approaches have shown remarkable success, they traditionally rely on fully-sampled ground truth (GT) images, which are expensive or impossible to obtain in real scenarios. This problem has created a recent surge in interest in self-supervised learning methods that do not require GT. Although recent methods are now fast approaching "oracle" supervised performance, the lack of systematic comparison and standard experimental setups are hindering targeted methodological research and precluding widespread trustworthy industry adoption. We present SSIBench, a modular and flexible comparison framework to unify and thoroughly benchmark Self-Supervised Imaging methods (SSI) without GT. We evaluate 18 recent methods across seven realistic MRI scenarios on real data, showing a wide performance landscape whose method ranking differs across scenarios and metrics, exposing the need for further SSI research. Our insights also show how complementary methods could be compounded for future improvements, exemplified by a novel loss we propose, Multi-Operator Equivariant Imaging. To accelerate reproducible research and lower the barrier to entry, we provide the extensible benchmark and open-source reimplementations of all methods at https://github.com/Andrewwango/ssibench, allowing researchers to rapidly and fairly contribute and evaluate new methods on the standardised setup for potential leaderboard ranking, or benchmark existing methods on custom datasets, forward operators, or models, unlocking the application of SSI to other valuable GT free domains such as 4D MRI and other nascent scientific imaging modalities.
