用自监督扩散模型从低场磁共振生成高场图像,保持解剖结构精准。

Cyclic Self-Supervised Diffusion for Ultra Low-field to High-field MRI Synthesis

  • 基于循环一致性约束的自监督扩散框架,避免依赖成对标注数据。
  • 在跨场合成中达到31.80 dB PSNR、0.943 SSIM,细节还原更真实。
  • 适合医学影像重建,尤其关注解剖精度与临床可用性的研究者。

从低场磁共振生成高质量高场图像具有重要价值。低场磁共振成本低、更安全,但存在分辨率低、信噪比差的问题。该合成过程可减少对昂贵扫描的依赖并扩展数据可用性。然而,现有方法仍存在临床保真度差距,难以同时保障解剖结构准确、细粒度结构清晰及图像对比度域间一致。为此,本文提出一种循环自监督扩散(CSS-Diff)框架,实现从真实低场数据到高场图像的合成。核心思想是引入循环一致性约束,确保生成过程中的解剖结构一致性,而非仅依赖像素级配对监督。框架还包含两个创新模块:切片级对比感知网络,通过对比学习校正切片间不一致性;局部结构修复网络,通过掩码和扰动块的自重建增强局部特征恢复。在跨场合成任务上大量实验表明,本方法性能达当前最优(如PSNR 31.80 ± 2.70 dB,SSIM 0.943 ± 0.102,LPIPS 0.0864 ± 0.0689)。除像素保真度外,相比原始低场图像,关键结构误差显著降低:左侧脑白质误差由12.1%降至2.1%,皮层误差由4.2%降至3.7%。结果表明,该方法生成的图像兼具定量可靠性与解剖一致性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Synthesizing high-quality images from low-field MRI holds significant potential. Low-field MRI is cheaper, more accessible, and safer, but suffers from low resolution and poor signal-to-noise ratio. This synthesis process can reduce reliance on costly acquisitions and expand data availability. However, synthesizing high-field MRI still suffers from a clinical fidelity gap. There is a need to preserve anatomical fidelity, enhance fine-grained structural details, and bridge domain gaps in image contrast. To address these issues, we propose a \emph{cyclic self-supervised diffusion (CSS-Diff)} framework for high-field MRI synthesis from real low-field MRI data. Our core idea is to reformulate diffusion-based synthesis under a cycle-consistent constraint. It enforces anatomical preservation throughout the generative process rather than just relying on paired pixel-level supervision. The CSS-Diff framework further incorporates two novel processes. The slice-wise gap perception network aligns inter-slice inconsistencies via contrastive learning. The local structure correction network enhances local feature restoration through self-reconstruction of masked and perturbed patches. Extensive experiments on cross-field synthesis tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, achieving state-of-the-art performance (e.g., 31.80 $\pm$ 2.70 dB in PSNR, 0.943 $\pm$ 0.102 in SSIM, and 0.0864 $\pm$ 0.0689 in LPIPS). Beyond pixel-wise fidelity, our method also preserves fine-grained anatomical structures compared with the original low-field MRI (e.g., left cerebral white matter error drops from 12.1$\%$ to 2.1$\%$, cortex from 4.2$\%$ to 3.7$\%$). To conclude, our CSS-Diff can synthesize images that are both quantitatively reliable and anatomically consistent.
