优化乳腺区域分割可显著提升病灶分割精度,还能大幅降低能耗。

Sustainable Deep Learning-Based Breast Lesion Segmentation: Impact of Breast Region Segmentation on Performance

  • 先精准分割乳腺区域,再聚焦病灶,提升模型训练效率。
  • 最优方案使病灶分割准确率比无乳腺分割提升约50%。
  • 能耗降低450%,推动绿色医学AI发展,适合医疗影像研究者。

目的:动态对比增强磁共振成像(DCE-MRI)中乳腺病灶的分割是精确诊断、治疗规划和疗效监测的关键步骤。本研究旨在揭示乳腺区域分割(BRS)对深度学习驱动的乳腺病灶分割(BLS)性能的影响。方法:基于包含59例DCE-MRI扫描的斯塔万格数据集,采用UNet++模型,比较四种处理流程:全体积不进行BRS、全体积进行BRS、仅使用选定病灶切片进行BRS,以及最优体积结合BRS。通过数据增强与过采样等预处理手段提升小样本数据集表现,统一数据形状,优化模型性能。通过精确流程确定最优体素大小,确保所有病灶均在切片范围内。评估采用包含Dice、焦点损失与交叉熵的混合损失函数,并结合五折交叉验证;最后使用随机划分的测试集评估各方案在未见数据上的表现。结果:引入BRS显著提升模型性能与验证效果。最优方案(最优体积+BRS)相比无BRS方案,性能提升约50%。同时,能量消耗最高下降450%,为未来大规模数据集应用提供可持续的绿色解决方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Purpose: Segmentation of the breast lesion in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is an essential step to accurately diagnose and plan treatment and monitor progress. This study aims to highlight the impact of breast region segmentation (BRS) on deep learning-based breast lesion segmentation (BLS) in breast DCE-MRI. Methods Using the Stavanger Dataset containing primarily 59 DCE-MRI scans and UNet++ as deep learning models, four different process were conducted to compare effect of BRS on BLS. These four approaches included the whole volume without BRS and with BRS, BRS with the selected lesion slices and lastly optimal volume with BRS. Preprocessing methods like augmentation and oversampling were used to enhance the small dataset, data shape uniformity and improve model performance. Optimal volume size were investigated by a precise process to ensure that all lesions existed in slices. To evaluate the model, a hybrid loss function including dice, focal and cross entropy along with 5-fold cross validation method were used and lastly a test dataset which was randomly split used to evaluate the model performance on unseen data for each of four mentioned approaches. Results Results demonstrate that using BRS considerably improved model performance and validation. Significant improvement in last approach -- optimal volume with BRS -- compared to the approach without BRS counting around 50 percent demonstrating how effective BRS has been in BLS. Moreover, huge improvement in energy consumption, decreasing up to 450 percent, introduces a green solution toward a more environmentally sustainable approach for future work on large dataset.
