提出CST框架,让医学影像跨域转换更保真细长结构。

Curvilinear Structure-preserving Unpaired Cross-domain Medical Image Translation

  • 引入拓扑监督的细长结构提取模块,显式保护微血管等结构。
  • 在OCTA、眼底彩图和冠脉造影上提升翻译保真度,性能达新高。
  • 适用于眼科与血管影像,对诊断与定量分析有重要意义。

无配对图像到图像转换已成为医学成像中的关键技术,可在无需昂贵配对数据集的情况下实现跨模态合成、领域自适应和数据增强。然而,现有方法常扭曲细微的曲线结构(如微血管),影响诊断可靠性与定量分析。这一问题在眼科和血管成像中尤为严重,因为微小形态变化具有重要临床意义。本文提出曲线结构保真转换(CST)框架,通过将结构一致性融入训练过程,显式保留细长结构。CST在基线模型中加入曲线提取模块以提供拓扑监督,可无缝集成至现有方法。我们将其应用于CycleGAN和UNSB两种代表性骨干网络。在光学相干断层扫描血管成像(OCTA)、彩色眼底图像和X射线冠状动脉造影三个模态上的综合评估表明,CST显著提升翻译保真度,达到当前最优性能。通过强化学习映射中的几何完整性,CST为医学影像中曲线结构感知的跨域转换提供了系统性解决方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Unpaired image-to-image translation has emerged as a crucial technique in medical imaging, enabling cross-modality synthesis, domain adaptation, and data augmentation without costly paired datasets. Yet, existing approaches often distort fine curvilinear structures, such as microvasculature, undermining both diagnostic reliability and quantitative analysis. This limitation is consequential in ophthalmic and vascular imaging, where subtle morphological changes carry significant clinical meaning. We propose Curvilinear Structure-preserving Translation (CST), a general framework that explicitly preserves fine curvilinear structures during unpaired translation by integrating structure consistency into the training. Specifically, CST augments baseline models with a curvilinear extraction module for topological supervision. It can be seamlessly incorporated into existing methods. We integrate it into CycleGAN and UNSB as two representative backbones. Comprehensive evaluation across three imaging modalities: optical coherence tomography angiography, color fundus and X-ray coronary angiography demonstrates that CST improves translation fidelity and achieves state-of-the-art performance. By reinforcing geometric integrity in learned mappings, CST establishes a principled pathway toward curvilinear structure-aware cross-domain translation in medical imaging.
