统一去噪与分割,提升低计数PET图像诊断精度

Anatomically and Metabolically Informed Diffusion for Unified Denoising and Segmentation in Low-Count PET Imaging

  • 用扩散模型结合语义信息去噪,再反向优化分割
  • 直接从低计数数据中准确计算总病灶糖酵解量(TLG)
  • 适合临床PET影像分析,尤其适用于设备受限场景

正电子发射断层成像(PET)图像去噪及病灶、器官分割是PET辅助诊断的关键步骤。然而,现有方法通常独立处理这些任务,忽略了它们在分析流程中的内在关联。本文提出解剖与代谢信息引导的扩散模型(AMDiff),实现低计数PET图像中去噪与病灶/器官分割的统一建模。该模型融合多任务功能,利用任务间的相互促进效应,可直接从低计数输入中量化临床指标,如总病灶糖酵解(TLG)。AMDiff采用基于扩散策略的语义引导去噪器,以及基于nnMamba架构的去噪引导分割器;分割器通过病灶-器官特定正则化约束去噪输出,而去噪器则通过去噪修正模块为分割器提供增强图像信息。两者通过升温机制连接,优化多任务协同。在多厂商、多中心、多噪声水平的数据集上实验表明,AMDiff性能显著优于现有方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Positron emission tomography (PET) image denoising, along with lesion and organ segmentation, are critical steps in PET-aided diagnosis. However, existing methods typically treat these tasks independently, overlooking inherent synergies between them as correlated steps in the analysis pipeline. In this work, we present the anatomically and metabolically informed diffusion (AMDiff) model, a unified framework for denoising and lesion/organ segmentation in low-count PET imaging. By integrating multi-task functionality and exploiting the mutual benefits of these tasks, AMDiff enables direct quantification of clinical metrics, such as total lesion glycolysis (TLG), from low-count inputs. The AMDiff model incorporates a semantic-informed denoiser based on diffusion strategy and a denoising-informed segmenter utilizing nnMamba architecture. The segmenter constrains denoised outputs via a lesion-organ-specific regularizer, while the denoiser enhances the segmenter by providing enriched image information through a denoising revision module. These components are connected via a warming-up mechanism to optimize multi-task interactions. Experiments on multi-vendor, multi-center, and multi-noise-level datasets demonstrate the superior performance of AMDiff.
