SmaRT提升MRI脑肿瘤分割在不同设备和人群下的稳定性与准确性
SmaRT: Style-Modulated Robust Test-Time Adaptation for Cross-Domain Brain Tumor Segmentation in MRI
- 通过风格调节增强和双分支动量策略,实现无源域适应
- 在非洲和儿科数据集上Dice分数显著提升,边界精度更高
- 适合医疗资源匮乏地区及儿童患者影像分析场景
可靠的MRI脑肿瘤分割对治疗规划和预后监测至关重要,但基于标准数据集训练的模型在扫描仪差异、协议变化及人群异质性导致的域偏移下常失效,尤其在低资源和儿科群体中更为严重。传统测试时或无源适应方法往往不稳定且结构不一致。我们提出SmaRT,一种风格调制的鲁棒测试时自适应框架,支持无源跨域泛化。SmaRT结合风格感知增强以缓解外观差异,采用双分支动量策略实现稳定伪标签优化,并引入结构先验确保一致性、完整性与连通性。该协同机制在极端域偏移下仍保持适应稳定性和解剖保真度。在撒哈拉以南非洲和儿科胶质瘤数据集上的广泛评估表明,SmaRT持续优于现有最优方法,显著提升Dice准确率与边界精度。整体上,SmaRT弥合了算法进展与公平临床应用之间的差距,支持神经肿瘤学MRI工具在多样临床环境中的稳健部署。代码已开源:https://github.com/baiyou1234/SmaRT。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reliable brain tumor segmentation in MRI is indispensable for treatment planning and outcome monitoring, yet models trained on curated benchmarks often fail under domain shifts arising from scanner and protocol variability as well as population heterogeneity. Such gaps are especially severe in low-resource and pediatric cohorts, where conventional test-time or source-free adaptation strategies often suffer from instability and structural inconsistency. We propose SmaRT, a style-modulated robust test-time adaptation framework that enables source-free cross-domain generalization. SmaRT integrates style-aware augmentation to mitigate appearance discrepancies, a dual-branch momentum strategy for stable pseudo-label refinement, and structural priors enforcing consistency, integrity, and connectivity. This synergy ensures both adaptation stability and anatomical fidelity under extreme domain shifts. Extensive evaluations on sub-Saharan Africa and pediatric glioma datasets show that SmaRT consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, with notable gains in Dice accuracy and boundary precision. Overall, SmaRT bridges the gap between algorithmic advances and equitable clinical applicability, supporting robust deployment of MRI-based neuro-oncology tools in diverse clinical environments.
