用结构化图模型分析3D肺部CT,提升异常检测准确率。

Structured Spectral Graph Representation Learning for Multi-label Abnormality Analysis from 3D CT Scans

  • 将3D CT切片三元组构建成图,通过谱卷积捕捉跨层依赖关系。
  • 在3个独立数据集上实现强泛化能力,性能媲美顶尖视觉模型。
  • 方法轻量易部署,适用于肺部与腹部CT异常检测及报告生成。

随着CT检查量持续增长,自动化工具如器官分割、异常检测和报告生成对减轻放射科医生工作负担日益重要。3D胸部CT的多标签分类因体积数据中复杂的空间关系和病灶高度变异而面临挑战。现有基于3D卷积神经网络的方法难以捕捉长程依赖,而视觉变换器通常需在大规模特定领域数据上预训练才能表现良好。本文提出一种2.5D图基框架,将3D CT体积表示为结构化图,以轴向切片三元组作为节点,经谱图卷积处理,实现对跨切片依赖关系的推理,同时保持临床部署所需的计算复杂度。该方法在来自独立机构的3个数据集上训练与评估,展现出优异的跨数据集泛化能力,性能可媲美最先进视觉编码器。我们进一步通过全面消融实验,评估了不同聚合策略、边权设定及图连通性模式的影响。此外,我们在自动放射科报告生成和腹部CT数据上验证了方法的广泛适用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With the growing volume of CT examinations, there is an increasing demand for automated tools such as organ segmentation, abnormality detection, and report generation to support radiologists in managing their clinical workload. Multi-label classification of 3D Chest CT scans remains a critical yet challenging problem due to the complex spatial relationships inherent in volumetric data and the wide variability of abnormalities. Existing methods based on 3D convolutional neural networks struggle to capture long-range dependencies, while Vision Transformers often require extensive pre-training on large-scale, domain-specific datasets to perform competitively. In this work, we propose a 2.5D alternative by introducing a new graph-based framework that represents 3D CT volumes as structured graphs, where axial slice triplets serve as nodes processed through spectral graph convolution, enabling the model to reason over inter-slice dependencies while maintaining complexity compatible with clinical deployment. Our method, trained and evaluated on 3 datasets from independent institutions, achieves strong cross-dataset generalization, and shows competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art visual encoders. We further conduct comprehensive ablation studies to evaluate the impact of various aggregation strategies, edge-weighting schemes, and graph connectivity patterns. Additionally, we demonstrate the broader applicability of our approach through transfer experiments on automated radiology report generation and abdominal CT data.
