OpenBreastUS: Benchmarking Neural Operators for Wave Imaging Using Breast Ultrasound Computed Tomography

  • 构建8000个真实乳腺模型与1600万次波场仿真数据
  • 首次实现基于神经算子的活体乳腺快速成像
  • 为波方程求解器提供真实医学场景的基准测试平台

精确高效的波动方程模拟在计算波成像中至关重要,如超声计算机断层扫描(USCT),其通过观测散射波重建组织材料特性。传统波动方程数值求解器计算成本高且常不稳定,限制了准实时图像重建的应用。神经算子通过神经网络加速偏微分方程求解,但现有数据集过于简化,难以反映真实复杂性。本文提出OpenBreastUS,一个大规模波方程数据集,包含8000个解剖学上真实的女性乳腺体模及超过1600万次基于真实USCT配置的频域波场仿真。该数据集支持对主流神经算子在正向模拟和逆向成像任务中的全面基准测试,可分析其性能、可扩展性和泛化能力。通过提供真实且丰富的数据,OpenBreastUS不仅成为开发新型神经偏微分方程求解器的平台,也推动其在真实医疗成像问题中的应用。首次实现基于神经算子的活体乳腺成像。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate and efficient simulation of wave equations is crucial in computational wave imaging applications, such as ultrasound computed tomography (USCT), which reconstructs tissue material properties from observed scattered waves. Traditional numerical solvers for wave equations are computationally intensive and often unstable, limiting their practical applications for quasi-real-time image reconstruction. Neural operators offer an innovative approach by accelerating PDE solving using neural networks; however, their effectiveness in realistic imaging is limited because existing datasets oversimplify real-world complexity. In this paper, we present OpenBreastUS, a large-scale wave equation dataset designed to bridge the gap between theoretical equations and practical imaging applications. OpenBreastUS includes 8,000 anatomically realistic human breast phantoms and over 16 million frequency-domain wave simulations using real USCT configurations. It enables a comprehensive benchmarking of popular neural operators for both forward simulation and inverse imaging tasks, allowing analysis of their performance, scalability, and generalization capabilities. By offering a realistic and extensive dataset, OpenBreastUS not only serves as a platform for developing innovative neural PDE solvers but also facilitates their deployment in real-world medical imaging problems. For the first time, we demonstrate efficient in vivo imaging of the human breast using neural operator solvers.
