- 基于临床常用的AHA 17段模型,用扩散模型生成解剖合理瘢痕
- 合成瘢痕与真实数据的Dice相似度更高,提升分割准确性
- 适合需要高质量瘢痕数据的医学影像研究者
基于深度学习的心肌瘢痕分割在晚期钆增强(LGE)心脏MRI中展现出巨大潜力,可实现结构性心脏病的精准与及时诊断及治疗规划。然而,高质量瘢痕标注的LGE图像数量有限且变异大,制约了鲁棒分割模型的发展。为此,本文提出CLAIM框架——一种基于临床指导的LGE图像增强方法,用于生成解剖合理且空间多样的心肌瘢痕。核心是SMILE模块(由临床知识引导的瘢痕掩码生成),该模块以临床常用的AHA 17段模型为条件,驱动扩散生成器合成具有解剖一致性与空间多样性的瘢痕图像。同时,采用联合训练策略,使分割网络与生成器共同优化,以提升合成瘢痕的真实感与分割性能。实验表明,CLAIM生成的瘢痕具有良好的解剖一致性,且与真实瘢痕分布的Dice相似度优于基线模型。本方法实现了可控、真实的瘢痕合成,在下游医学影像任务中展现出应用价值。代码已开源:https://github.com/farheenjabeen/CLAIM-Scar-Synthesis。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep learning-based myocardial scar segmentation from late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac MRI has shown great potential for accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment planning for structural cardiac diseases. However, the limited availability and variability of LGE images with high-quality scar labels restrict the development of robust segmentation models. To address this, we introduce CLAIM: \textbf{C}linically-Guided \textbf{L}GE \textbf{A}ugmentation for Real\textbf{i}stic and Diverse \textbf{M}yocardial Scar Synthesis and Segmentation framework, a framework for anatomically grounded scar generation and segmentation. At its core is the SMILE module (Scar Mask generation guided by cLinical knowledgE), which conditions a diffusion-based generator on the clinically adopted AHA 17-segment model to synthesize images with anatomically consistent and spatially diverse scar patterns. In addition, CLAIM employs a joint training strategy in which the scar segmentation network is optimized alongside the generator, aiming to enhance both the realism of synthesized scars and the accuracy of the scar segmentation performance. Experimental results show that CLAIM produces anatomically coherent scar patterns and achieves higher Dice similarity with real scar distributions compared to baseline models. Our approach enables controllable and realistic myocardial scar synthesis and has demonstrated utility for downstream medical imaging task.
