针对儿童心脏超声的射血分数预测,提出新方法提升准确性和鲁棒性。

Q-PART: Quasi-Periodic Adaptive Regression with Test-time Training for Pediatric Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Regression

  • 通过分解心音信号的周期与非周期成分,结合测试时训练优化回归结果。
  • 在三个年龄组中实现最高0.9747的mAUROC,且性别公平性优异。
  • 适合临床用于儿童心脏功能筛查,对图像质量问题有强适应力。

本文针对儿科左心室射血分数(LVEF)自适应评估难题,提出一种新型准周期自适应回归框架Q-PART。该方法在训练阶段利用参数化螺旋轨迹与神经控制微分方程,在潜在空间中将超声心动图分解为周期与非周期成分;推理阶段则引入图像增强下的方差最小化策略,模拟常见成像质量缺陷,并对周期与非周期成分采用差异化适应率。理论分析表明,在弱条件下方差最小化可有效控制回归误差。在三个儿科年龄组上的实验显示,Q-PART显著优于现有方法,达到最高0.9747的mAUROC,且各项指标性别公平,验证了其在儿科超声分析中的鲁棒性与实用价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In this work, we address the challenge of adaptive pediatric Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) assessment. While Test-time Training (TTT) approaches show promise for this task, they suffer from two significant limitations. Existing TTT works are primarily designed for classification tasks rather than continuous value regression, and they lack mechanisms to handle the quasi-periodic nature of cardiac signals. To tackle these issues, we propose a novel \textbf{Q}uasi-\textbf{P}eriodic \textbf{A}daptive \textbf{R}egression with \textbf{T}est-time Training (Q-PART) framework. In the training stage, the proposed Quasi-Period Network decomposes the echocardiogram into periodic and aperiodic components within latent space by combining parameterized helix trajectories with Neural Controlled Differential Equations. During inference, our framework further employs a variance minimization strategy across image augmentations that simulate common quality issues in echocardiogram acquisition, along with differential adaptation rates for periodic and aperiodic components. Theoretical analysis is provided to demonstrate that our variance minimization objective effectively bounds the regression error under mild conditions. Furthermore, extensive experiments across three pediatric age groups demonstrate that Q-PART not only significantly outperforms existing approaches in pediatric LVEF prediction, but also exhibits strong clinical screening capability with high mAUROC scores (up to 0.9747) and maintains gender-fair performance across all metrics, validating its robustness and practical utility in pediatric echocardiography analysis.
