让AI像医生一样精准定位并描述全身CT中的异常

Rethinking Whole-Body CT Image Interpretation: An Abnormality-Centric Approach

  • 构建404种异常的层级分类体系,覆盖全身体区
  • 创建超14.5K张多平面CT图像数据集,标注超1.9万处异常
  • 提出可交互式描述异常的OmniAbnorm-CT模型,临床评估更可靠

自动解读CT影像——尤其是多平面和全身扫描中异常位置的定位与描述——仍是临床放射学的重大挑战。本文通过四项关键贡献应对该问题:(i) 与资深放射科医生合作,提出涵盖全身各部位404种典型异常的层次化分类体系;(ii) 构建包含超过14.5K张多平面、全身体区CT图像的数据集,并对超过1.9万处异常进行精细标注,每处异常均关联详细描述并归入分类体系;(iii) 提出OmniAbnorm-CT模型,可根据文本查询自动定位并描述多平面及全身CT中的异常,支持通过视觉提示灵活交互;(iv) 基于真实临床场景设计三项代表性任务,引入临床可信度评估指标。大量实验证明,OmniAbnorm-CT在内部与外部验证中均显著优于现有方法,且在所有任务中表现优异。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Automated interpretation of CT images-particularly localizing and describing abnormal findings across multi-plane and whole-body scans-remains a significant challenge in clinical radiology. This work aims to address this challenge through four key contributions: (i) On taxonomy, we collaborate with senior radiologists to propose a comprehensive hierarchical classification system, with 404 representative abnormal findings across all body regions; (ii) On data, we contribute a dataset containing over 14.5K CT images from multiple planes and all human body regions, and meticulously provide grounding annotations for over 19K abnormalities, each linked to the detailed description and cast into the taxonomy; (iii) On model development, we propose OmniAbnorm-CT, which can automatically ground and describe abnormal findings on multi-plane and whole-body CT images based on text queries, while also allowing flexible interaction through visual prompts; (iv) On evaluation, we establish three representative tasks based on real clinical scenarios, and introduce a clinically grounded metric to assess abnormality descriptions. Through extensive experiments, we show that OmniAbnorm-CT can significantly outperform existing methods in both internal and external validations, and across all the tasks.
