通过关系监督提升心脏多腔室模型的解剖准确性
Relational Anatomical Supervision for Accurate 3D Multi-Chamber Cardiac Mesh Reconstruction
- 引入可微分的结构关系损失,显式建模心腔间空间关系
- 在多中心数据上将关键边界错误降低83%,保持体积精度
- 适用于不同模态、病种和严重变形,适合临床建模
从医学影像中准确重建多腔室心脏解剖结构是个性化建模、生理模拟和手术规划的基础。然而,现有方法仅依赖表面几何监督且孤立建模各心腔,导致尽管重叠度或距离指标良好,仍出现解剖不合理的心腔越界问题。本文提出一种关系解剖监督框架,引入可微分的网格互相关增强(MIE)损失,将心腔间的空间关系编码为基于占据的量化目标,使定性解剖规则转化为定量几何监督。同时构建违规感知评估指标,直接量化心腔结构正确性,揭示了常用指标如Dice和Chamfer距离的系统性局限。在多中心CT、密集采样MR及两个独立外部队列(包括异质性先天心脏病人群)上的实验表明,该方法可一致减少高达83%的临床关键边界违规,保持良好体积精度并实现更优表面保真度。所提关系监督在成像模态、中心和病理条件下均具强泛化能力,即使面对严重解剖变形依然有效。结果表明,仅靠距离监督不足以保证解剖真实性,显式约束多结构关系是实现可靠个性化心脏建模的可靠路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate reconstruction of multi-chamber cardiac anatomy from medical images is a cornerstone for patient-specific modeling, physiological simulation, and interventional planning. However, current reconstruction pipelines fundamentally rely on surface-wise geometric supervision and model each chamber in isolation, resulting in anatomically implausible inter-chamber violations despite apparently favorable overlap or distance metrics. In this work, we propose a relational anatomical supervision framework for multi-chamber cardiac mesh reconstruction by introducing a Mesh Interrelation Enhancement (MIE) loss. The proposed formulation explicitly encodes spatial relationships between cardiac structures into a differentiable occupancy-based objective, thereby transforming qualitative anatomical rules into quantitative geometric supervision. We further establish violation-aware evaluation metrics to directly quantify inter-chamber structural correctness, revealing systematic limitations of commonly used geometric measures such as Dice and Chamfer distance. Extensive experiments on multi-center CT data, densely sampled MR data, and two independent external cohorts, including a highly heterogeneous congenital heart disease population, demonstrate that the proposed method consistently suppresses clinically critical boundary violations by up to 83\%, while maintaining competitive volumetric accuracy and achieving superior surface fidelity. Notably, the proposed relational supervision generalizes robustly across imaging modalities, centers, and pathological conditions, even under severe anatomical deformation. These results demonstrate that distance-based supervision alone is insufficient to guarantee anatomically faithful reconstruction, and that explicit enforcement of multi-structure anatomical relations provides a principled and robust pathway toward reliable patient-specific cardiac modeling.
