针对多序列心脏MRI图像,提出一种自适应对齐框架,提升心肌病变分割精度。

A Composite Alignment-Aware Framework for Myocardial Lesion Segmentation in Multi-sequence CMR Images

  • 分两阶段:动态对齐对应切片,再分层融合多序列特征
  • 在397例数据上实现5.54%的分割性能提升,尤其在梗死区域效果显著
  • 适合医学影像分割、心脏疾病辅助诊断的研究者使用

从多序列心脏磁共振成像中精确分割心肌病变对心脏病诊断与治疗规划至关重要。然而,不同模态间的强度差异及切片采集协议不一致导致的空间错位使特征对应难以实现。本文提出CAA-Seg,一种复合对齐感知框架,采用两阶段方法:首先设计选择性切片对齐方法,动态识别并对齐解剖对应的切片对,排除错位部分,确保序列间可靠空间对应;其次构建分层对齐网络,在不同语义层次处理多序列特征——低层的局部形变校正模块解决几何差异,高层的全局语义融合块实现语义融合(此时强度差异已减弱)。在包含397名患者的大型数据集上验证,实验结果表明CAA-Seg在多数评估指标上表现更优,尤其在心肌梗死分割上较当前最优方法提升5.54%。代码开源:https://github.com/yifangao112/CAA-Seg。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate segmentation of myocardial lesions from multi-sequence cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is essential for cardiac disease diagnosis and treatment planning. However, achieving optimal feature correspondence is challenging due to intensity variations across modalities and spatial misalignment caused by inconsistent slice acquisition protocols. We propose CAA-Seg, a composite alignment-aware framework that addresses these challenges through a two-stage approach. First, we introduce a selective slice alignment method that dynamically identifies and aligns anatomically corresponding slice pairs while excluding mismatched sections, ensuring reliable spatial correspondence between sequences. Second, we develop a hierarchical alignment network that processes multi-sequence features at different semantic levels, i.e., local deformation correction modules address geometric variations in low-level features, while global semantic fusion blocks enable semantic fusion at high levels where intensity discrepancies diminish. We validate our method on a large-scale dataset comprising 397 patients. Experimental results show that our proposed CAA-Seg achieves superior performance on most evaluation metrics, with particularly strong results in myocardial infarction segmentation, representing a substantial 5.54% improvement over state-of-the-art approaches. The code is available at https://github.com/yifangao112/CAA-Seg.
