用无标签数据提升CT模型抗伪影能力,避免昂贵标注。

Improving Artifact Robustness for CT Deep Learning Models Without Labeled Artifact Images via Domain Adaptation

  • 通过域对抗网络利用无标签伪影数据增强模型鲁棒性。
  • 模型在环形伪影图像上准确率达77.4%,比基线高38.7%。
  • 适合临床部署中应对未知新伪影场景。

若CT扫描仪引入训练标签中未包含的新伪影,模型可能误分类图像。尽管现代扫描仪具备缓解伪影的设计,但意外或难以消除的伪影仍会实际出现。直接标注新分布图像成本高昂。本文评估域适应作为替代方案:在无对应标签情况下,仍可训练出对新伪影具有分类鲁棒性的模型。研究在正弦图空间模拟探测器增益误差引起的环形伪影,在OrganAMNIST腹部CT数据集上对比域对抗神经网络(DANN)与基线及基于增强的方法。通过损失函数掩码和选择性断开计算图,模拟未见分布标签缺失。结果表明,仅在无伪影图像上训练的基线模型无法泛化至含环形伪影图像;传统增强方法对未见伪影域无改善。而DANN仅使用无标签伪影数据训练,即显著提升环形伪影图像分类准确率。域适应模型在环形伪影测试集上达到77.4%准确率,较仅训练无伪影图像的基线模型高出38.7%。实证表明,域适应可在无需昂贵专家标注新伪影分布的前提下有效应对医学影像中的分布偏移,具临床部署潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

If a CT scanner introduces a new artifact not present in the training labels, the model may misclassify the images. Although modern CT scanners include design features which mitigate these artifacts, unanticipated or difficult-to-mitigate artifacts can still appear in practice. The direct solution of labeling images from this new distribution can be costly. As a more accessible alternative, this study evaluates domain adaptation as an approach for training models that maintain classification performance despite new artifacts, even without corresponding labels. We simulate ring artifacts from detector gain error in sinogram space and evaluate domain adversarial neural networks (DANN) against baseline and augmentation-based approaches on the OrganAMNIST abdominal CT dataset. We simulate the absence of labels from an unseen distribution via masking in the loss function and selectively detaching unlabeled instances from the computational graph. Our results demonstrate that baseline models trained only on clean images fail to generalize to images with ring artifacts, and traditional augmentation with other distortion types provides no improvement on unseen artifact domains. In contrast, the DANN approach improves classification accuracy on ring artifact images using only unlabeled artifact data during training, demonstrating the viability of domain adaptation for artifact robustness. The domain-adapted model achieved a classification accuracy of 77.4% on ring artifact test data, 38.7% higher than a baseline model only trained on images with no artifact. These findings provide empirical evidence that domain adaptation can effectively address distribution shift in medical imaging without requiring expensive expert labeling of new artifact distributions, suggesting promise for deployment in clinical settings where novel artifacts may emerge.
