- 构建多疾病数据集并设计专用预处理流程支持模型训练
- 在右心室分割上显著提升性能,且对未知疾病数据泛化能力强
- 适合心血管影像分析、医学图像分割研究者参考
准确分割心脏磁共振图像(CMRIs)中的心室对心脏病诊断与分析至关重要。深度学习方法虽表现优异,但在分割不规则形状器官(如右心室)时仍存在局限。本研究认为,该问题源于模型对不同切片、心动周期及疾病状态下的目标分布变化缺乏泛化能力。为此,我们提出多疾病感知训练策略(MTS),重构原始CMRI数据集为多疾病数据集,并设计专用图像预处理技术以支持MTS。通过对照实验与交叉验证,结果表明:(1)采用本策略训练的网络在右心室分割上表现更优;(2)模型在未知疾病数据上仍保持稳健性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate segmentation of the ventricles from cardiac magnetic resonance images (CMRIs) is crucial for enhancing the diagnosis and analysis of heart conditions. Deep learning-based segmentation methods have recently garnered significant attention due to their impressive performance. However, these segmentation methods are typically good at partitioning regularly shaped organs, such as the left ventricle (LV) and the myocardium (MYO), whereas they perform poorly on irregularly shaped organs, such as the right ventricle (RV). In this study, we argue that this limitation of segmentation models stems from their insufficient generalization ability to address the distribution shift of segmentation targets across slices, cardiac phases, and disease conditions. To overcome this issue, we present a Multi-Disease-Aware Training Strategy (MTS) and restructure the introduced CMRI datasets into multi-disease datasets. Additionally, we propose a specialized data processing technique for preprocessing input images to support the MTS. To validate the effectiveness of our method, we performed control group experiments and cross-validation tests. The experimental results show that (1) network models trained using our proposed strategy achieved superior segmentation performance, particularly in RV segmentation, and (2) these networks exhibited robust performance even when applied to data from unknown diseases.
