四维磁共振成像(4D-MRI)是放射治疗计划与实施中捕捉呼吸诱导运动的有前景技术。传统4D重建方法通常依赖相位分箱或独立模板扫描,难以捕捉时间变异性,流程复杂且计算负担重。本文提出一种神经表示框架,将呼吸运动视为由一维替代信号驱动的平滑连续变形,完全替代传统的离散排序方法。该方法通过两个协同网络融合运动建模与图像重建:空间解剖网络(SAN)编码连续3D解剖表示,时间运动网络(TMN)在基于Transformer的呼吸信号引导下生成时间一致的形变场。在19名志愿者的自由呼吸数据集上评估表明,该无模板、无相位的方法能准确捕捉规律与不规则呼吸模式,同时保持血管和支气管连续性,具有高解剖保真度。相比传统方法约5小时的处理时间,新方法训练仅需15分钟,单次3D体积推断时间低于1秒。该框架可任意呼吸状态重建3D图像,性能优于传统方法,展现出在4D放疗规划与实时自适应治疗中的强大潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Four-dimensional MRI (4D-MRI) is an promising technique for capturing respiratory-induced motion in radiation therapy planning and delivery. Conventional 4D reconstruction methods, which typically rely on phase binning or separate template scans, struggle to capture temporal variability, complicate workflows, and impose heavy computational loads. We introduce a neural representation framework that considers respiratory motion as a smooth, continuous deformation steered by a 1D surrogate signal, completely replacing the conventional discrete sorting approach. The new method fuses motion modeling with image reconstruction through two synergistic networks: the Spatial Anatomy Network (SAN) encodes a continuous 3D anatomical representation, while a Temporal Motion Network (TMN), guided by Transformer-derived respiratory signals, produces temporally consistent deformation fields. Evaluation using a free-breathing dataset of 19 volunteers demonstrates that our template- and phase-free method accurately captures both regular and irregular respiratory patterns, while preserving vessel and bronchial continuity with high anatomical fidelity. The proposed method significantly improves efficiency, reducing the total processing time from approximately five hours required by conventional discrete sorting methods to just 15 minutes of training. Furthermore, it enables inference of each 3D volume in under one second. The framework accurately reconstructs 3D images at any respiratory state, achieves superior performance compared to conventional methods, and demonstrates strong potential for application in 4D radiation therapy planning and real-time adaptive treatment.
