用零样本自监督学习实现快速磁共振胆胰成像,大幅缩短屏气时间。

Zero-shot self-supervised learning of single breath-hold magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) reconstruction

  • 提出分阶段冻结与可训练结合的零样本学习框架,降低训练复杂度。
  • 在加速因子25下,图像质量接近呼吸触发扫描,信噪比达38.25 dB。
  • 适用于临床急需快速成像的场景,尤其适合无法长时间屏气的患者。

为探究零样本自监督学习在缩短磁共振胆胰成像(MRCP)屏气时间中的可行性,研究使用3T扫描仪对11名健康志愿者进行非相干k空间采样,获得14秒采集时间、加速因子R=25的屏气MRCP数据。将零样本重建与呼吸触发序列(338秒,R=3)及压缩感知重建进行对比。另对两名志愿者获取40秒屏气数据并回溯至R=25,计算峰值信噪比(PSNR)。为解决训练耗时问题,将零样本学习的n+m个阶段分为两部分:1)以预训练n阶段网络初始化的冻结阶段;2)随机或以预训练m阶段初始化的可训练阶段。通过调整初始化策略和可训练阶段数量评估效率。结果表明,零样本重建显著优于压缩感知,在信噪比和胆管显影方面表现更优,图像质量接近成功呼吸触发采集。优化初始化提升PSNR并减少重建时间。调整配置显示,从0/13到12/1配置,PSNR仅从38.25 dB降至37.67 dB,而训练时间最多减少6.7倍。该方法实现了高保真度的低屏气时间MRCP重建,部分可训练设计使其更适用于临床时限约束场景。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

To investigate the feasibility of zero-shot self-supervised learning reconstruction for reducing breath-hold times in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Breath-hold MRCP was acquired from 11 healthy volunteers on 3T scanners using an incoherent k-space sampling pattern, leading to 14-second acquisition time and an acceleration factor of R=25. Zero-shot reconstruction was compared with parallel imaging of respiratory-triggered MRCP (338s, R=3) and compressed sensing reconstruction. For two volunteers, breath-hold scans (40s, R=6) were additionally acquired and retrospectively undersampled to R=25 to compute peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). To address long zero-shot training time, the n+m full stages of the zero-shot learning were divided into two parts to reduce backpropagation depth during training: 1) n frozen stages initialized with n-stage pretrained network and 2) m trainable stages initialized either randomly or m-stage pretrained network. Efficiency of our approach was assessed by varying initialization strategies and the number of trainable stages using the retrospectively undersampled data. Zero-shot reconstruction significantly improved visual image quality over compressed sensing, particularly in SNR and ductal delineation, and achieved image quality comparable to that of successful respiratory-triggered acquisitions with regular breathing patterns. Improved initializations enhanced PSNR and reduced reconstruction time. Adjusting frozen/trainable configurations demonstrated that PSNR decreased only slightly from 38.25 dB (0/13) to 37.67 dB (12/1), while training time decreased up to 6.7-fold. Zero-shot learning delivers high-fidelity MRCP reconstructions with reduced breath-hold times, and the proposed partially trainable approach offers a practical solution for translation into time-constrained clinical workflows.
