用扩散模型生成更精准的脑白质纤维追踪,兼顾局部细节与全局连贯性。

DDTracking: A Deep Generative Framework for Diffusion MRI Tractography with Streamline Local-Global Spatiotemporal Modeling

  • 将纤维追踪建模为条件去噪扩散过程,双路径编码融合局部结构与全局时序依赖。
  • 在两个基准数据集上超越现有方法,对不同健康状态、扫描仪等数据具强泛化能力。
  • 适合需要高精度、鲁棒性纤维追踪的医学影像研究者,尤其关注跨设备一致性。

本文提出DDTracking,一种新颖的深度生成框架,用于扩散磁共振成像(dMRI)纤维追踪。该方法将纤维束传播建模为条件去噪扩散过程,设计双路径编码网络,联合捕捉每个纤维点的局部空间特征(精细结构细节)与整个纤维的全局时序依赖(长程一致性)。此外,构建条件扩散模型模块,利用学习到的局部与全局嵌入,端到端可训练地预测纤维传播方向。我们在多种独立采集的dMRI数据集(含合成与临床数据)上进行全面评估。在两个标准基准(ISMRM Challenge和TractoInferno)上的实验表明,DDTracking显著优于当前最先进方法。结果还凸显其在异质数据集间的强泛化能力,涵盖不同健康状况、年龄组、成像协议与扫描仪类型。总体而言,DDTracking提供解剖学合理且鲁棒的纤维追踪,为广泛dMRI应用提供了可扩展、可适应、端到端可学习的解决方案。代码已公开:https://github.com/yishengpoxiao/DDtracking.git

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper presents DDTracking, a novel deep generative framework for diffusion MRI tractography that formulates streamline propagation as a conditional denoising diffusion process. In DDTracking, we introduce a dual-pathway encoding network that jointly models local spatial encoding (capturing fine-scale structural details at each streamline point) and global temporal dependencies (ensuring long-range consistency across the entire streamline). Furthermore, we design a conditional diffusion model module, which leverages the learned local and global embeddings to predict streamline propagation orientations for tractography in an end-to-end trainable manner. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation across diverse, independently acquired dMRI datasets, including both synthetic and clinical data. Experiments on two well-established benchmarks with ground truth (ISMRM Challenge and TractoInferno) demonstrate that DDTracking largely outperforms current state-of-the-art tractography methods. Furthermore, our results highlight DDTracking's strong generalizability across heterogeneous datasets, spanning varying health conditions, age groups, imaging protocols, and scanner types. Collectively, DDTracking offers anatomically plausible and robust tractography, presenting a scalable, adaptable, and end-to-end learnable solution for broad dMRI applications.
