用深度学习自动修复脑代谢影像缺失数据,无需标注缺失位置。
Missing Data Estimation for MR Spectroscopic Imaging via Mask-Free Deep Learning Methods
- 用2D/3D U-Net隐式识别缺失区域并重建代谢图
- 20%数据缺失时均方误差0.002,结构相似性达0.97
- 无需手动标记缺失区域,适用于真实患者数据
磁共振波谱成像(MRSI)是无创绘制脑代谢物的重要工具,但高分辨率3D扫描常因运动伪影、磁场不均或拟合失败导致数据缺失。本文提出首个基于深度学习的无掩码(mask-free)MRSI数据修复框架。不同于依赖显式掩码的传统方法,本方法通过2D和3D U-Net架构利用上下文空间特征隐式检测并重建缺失区域,并采用渐进式训练策略提升对不同退化程度的鲁棒性。在模拟与真实患者数据上评估,2D模型在20%缺失体素下达到0.002的均方误差与0.97的结构相似性,3D模型在15%缺失下实现0.001的均方误差与0.98的结构相似性。定性结果显示,尤其在代谢异质区和脑室区重建效果显著。模型无需重训练或掩码输入,具备良好泛化能力。结果表明,该方法在临床与研究中具有广泛应用潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) is a powerful tool for non-invasive mapping of brain metabolites, providing critical insights into neurological conditions. However, its utility is often limited by missing or corrupted data due to motion artifacts, magnetic field inhomogeneities, or failed spectral fitting-especially in high resolution 3D acquisitions. To address this, we propose the first deep learning-based, mask-free framework for estimating missing data in MRSI metabolic maps. Unlike conventional restoration methods that rely on explicit masks to identify missing regions, our approach implicitly detects and estimates these areas using contextual spatial features through 2D and 3D U-Net architectures. We also introduce a progressive training strategy to enhance robustness under varying levels of data degradation. Our method is evaluated on both simulated and real patient datasets and consistently outperforms traditional interpolation techniques such as cubic and linear interpolation. The 2D model achieves an MSE of 0.002 and an SSIM of 0.97 with 20% missing voxels, while the 3D model reaches an MSE of 0.001 and an SSIM of 0.98 with 15% missing voxels. Qualitative results show improved fidelity in estimating missing data, particularly in metabolically heterogeneous regions and ventricular regions. Importantly, our model generalizes well to real-world datasets without requiring retraining or mask input. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness and broad applicability of mask-free deep learning for MRSI restoration, with strong potential for clinical and research integration.
