- 新方法比传统注册技术更精准,适合临床研究与个性化医疗。
主动脉形态分析在心血管诊断、治疗规划和疾病进展理解中至关重要。本文提出一种从心脏MRI数据出发的鲁棒且全自动的主动脉形态分析流程,结合深度学习与统计技术,覆盖分割、三维表面重建和网格配准。我们在一个精选数据集上对比了nnUNet、TotalSegmentator和MedSAM2等主流分割模型,验证了领域特定训练与迁移学习的有效性。分割后,重建高质量三维网格,并提出一种基于深度学习的网格配准方法,直接优化顶点位移,显著优于经典的刚性和非刚性方法,在几何精度与解剖一致性上表现更优。基于配准后的网格,对599名健康受试者进行统计形状分析。主成分分析揭示了主动脉形态变化的主要模式,可捕捉在刚性与相似变换下的全局形态与局部结构差异。研究结果表明,将传统几何处理与学习模型结合,能实现解剖学精确且可扩展的主动脉分析。本工作为病理形态异常研究奠定基础,支持心血管医学中的个性化诊断发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Aortic shape analysis plays a key role in cardiovascular diagnostics, treatment planning, and understanding disease progression. We present a robust, fully automated pipeline for aortic shape analysis from cardiac MRI, combining deep learning and statistical techniques across segmentation, 3D surface reconstruction, and mesh registration. We benchmark leading segmentation models including nnUNet, TotalSegmentator, and MedSAM2 highlighting the effectiveness of domain specific training and transfer learning on a curated dataset. Following segmentation, we reconstruct high quality 3D meshes and introduce a DL based mesh registration method that directly optimises vertex displacements. This approach significantly outperforms classical rigid and nonrigid methods in geometric accuracy and anatomical consistency. Using the registered meshes, we perform statistical shape analysis on a cohort of 599 healthy subjects. Principal Component Analysis reveals dominant modes of aortic shape variation, capturing both global morphology and local structural differences under rigid and similarity transformations. Our findings demonstrate the advantages of integrating traditional geometry processing with learning based models for anatomically precise and scalable aortic analysis. This work lays the groundwork for future studies into pathological shape deviations and supports the development of personalised diagnostics in cardiovascular medicine.
