仅用体表扫描和基本信息,生成逼真人体胸部CT影像

Surf2CT: Cascaded 3D Flow Matching Models for Torso 3D CT Synthesis from Skin Surface

  • 分三阶段流程:补全体表、粗略生成CT、超分辨率细化
  • 器官体积误差小于11.1%,肺部定位偏差仅2.5毫米
  • 适合无创体检、家庭医疗与个性化诊疗场景

我们提出Surf2CT,一种新型级联流匹配框架,仅基于外部体表扫描和基础人口统计信息(年龄、性别、身高、体重),即可合成完整的3D人体胸部断层扫描(CT)图像。这是首个仅依赖外部形态与人口数据生成内部解剖结构的方案,无需任何内部成像。该方法包含三个阶段:(1) 表面补全,利用条件3D流匹配从部分体表扫描重建完整有符号距离函数(SDF);(2) 粗略CT生成,基于补全后的SDF与人口数据生成低分辨率CT;(3) CT超分辨率,通过基于块的条件流模型将粗略体积提升至高分辨率。每阶段均采用3D适配的EDM2骨干网络,通过流匹配训练。模型在来自麻省总医院(MGH)与AutoPET挑战赛的3,198个胸部CT扫描数据集(约113万张轴向切片)上训练。在700对体表-CT配对案例上的评估显示,解剖结构高度保真:器官体积平均百分比差异为-11.1%至4.4%,肌肉/脂肪成分相关性达0.67至0.96;肺部定位平均偏差仅为-2.5毫米。表面补全显著提升性能(Chamfer距离由521.8毫米降至2.7毫米,交并比由0.87升至0.98)。Surf2CT建立了一种仅凭外部数据实现非侵入式内部成像的新范式,为家庭健康监测、预防医学和个性化临床评估开辟新路径,避免传统影像技术带来的风险。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present Surf2CT, a novel cascaded flow matching framework that synthesizes full 3D computed tomography (CT) volumes of the human torso from external surface scans and simple demographic data (age, sex, height, weight). This is the first approach capable of generating realistic volumetric internal anatomy images solely based on external body shape and demographics, without any internal imaging. Surf2CT proceeds through three sequential stages: (1) Surface Completion, reconstructing a complete signed distance function (SDF) from partial torso scans using conditional 3D flow matching; (2) Coarse CT Synthesis, generating a low-resolution CT volume from the completed SDF and demographic information; and (3) CT Super-Resolution, refining the coarse volume into a high-resolution CT via a patch-wise conditional flow model. Each stage utilizes a 3D-adapted EDM2 backbone trained via flow matching. We trained our model on a combined dataset of 3,198 torso CT scans (approximately 1.13 million axial slices) sourced from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the AutoPET challenge. Evaluation on 700 paired torso surface-CT cases demonstrated strong anatomical fidelity: organ volumes exhibited small mean percentage differences (range from -11.1% to 4.4%), and muscle/fat body composition metrics matched ground truth with strong correlation (range from 0.67 to 0.96). Lung localization had minimal bias (mean difference -2.5 mm), and surface completion significantly improved metrics (Chamfer distance: from 521.8 mm to 2.7 mm; Intersection-over-Union: from 0.87 to 0.98). Surf2CT establishes a new paradigm for non-invasive internal anatomical imaging using only external data, opening opportunities for home-based healthcare, preventive medicine, and personalized clinical assessments without the risks associated with conventional imaging techniques.
