用无对比剂MRI生成增强MRI,提升乳腺癌诊断安全性。

Comparing Conditional Diffusion Models for Synthesizing Contrast-Enhanced Breast MRI from Pre-Contrast Images

  • 基于预对比图像的扩散模型生成增强MRI,尝试22种变体。
  • 减影图像模型在五项指标上均优于直接后对比模型。
  • 肿瘤感知损失和分割掩码提升病灶细节,适合临床研究者参考。

动态对比增强(DCE)MRI对乳腺癌诊断至关重要,但依赖对比剂带来安全风险、禁忌症、成本上升及流程复杂。为此,我们提出基于预对比图像的去噪扩散概率模型,生成DCE-MRI,共设计并评估了22种生成模型变体,涵盖单侧与全乳房场景。为提升病灶真实性,引入肿瘤感知损失函数及显式肿瘤分割掩码条件输入。基于公开多中心数据集,并与相应预对比基线比较,发现减影图像模型在五项互补评价指标中始终优于后对比模型。除整体图像评估外,还单独分析感兴趣区域,结果显示肿瘤感知损失和分割掩码输入均显著提升评价指标。后者尤其改善了对比剂摄取的定性表现,但需预先知晓肿瘤位置,在筛查场景中未必可得。两名放射科医生与四位MRI技师参与的读者研究证实合成图像具有高真实感,表明生成式增强技术具备潜在临床价值。代码已开源:https://github.com/sebastibar/conditional-diffusion-breast-MRI。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI is essential for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, its reliance on contrast agents introduces safety concerns, contraindications, increased cost, and workflow complexity. To this end, we present pre-contrast conditioned denoising diffusion probabilistic models to synthesize DCE-MRI, introducing, evaluating, and comparing a total of 22 generative model variants in both single-breast and full breast settings. Towards enhancing lesion fidelity, we introduce both tumor-aware loss functions and explicit tumor segmentation mask conditioning. Using a public multicenter dataset and comparing to respective pre-contrast baselines, we observe that subtraction image-based models consistently outperform post-contrast-based models across five complementary evaluation metrics. Apart from assessing the entire image, we also separately evaluate the region of interest, where both tumor-aware losses and segmentation mask inputs improve evaluation metrics. The latter notably enhance qualitative results capturing contrast uptake, albeit assuming access to tumor localization inputs that are not guaranteed to be available in screening settings. A reader study involving 2 radiologists and 4 MRI technologists confirms the high realism of the synthetic images, indicating an emerging clinical potential of generative contrast-enhancement. We share our codebase at https://github.com/sebastibar/conditional-diffusion-breast-MRI.
