用深度学习与影像组学结合,精准分割CT中的肝肿瘤。

Precise Liver Tumor Segmentation in CT Using a Hybrid Deep Learning-Radiomics Framework

  • 先用双阶段网络生成肿瘤初步概率图,再通过时序一致性规则修复细小病灶
  • 提取728个影像特征,筛选出20个关键特征,有效剔除假阳性区域
  • 3D CNN在肿瘤边界窄带内精细化修正,提升轮廓精度,适合临床应用

对比增强CT上精确的三维肝肿瘤勾画是治疗规划、导航和疗效评估的前提,但人工勾画耗时、依赖观察者且难以跨中心标准化。自动分割面临病灶与正常组织对比度低、边界模糊或不完整、强化模式异质以及血管等干扰结构等问题。本文提出一种混合框架,将注意力增强的级联U-Net与手工影像组学特征及体素级3D CNN精修相结合,实现肝及肝肿瘤联合分割。首先,基于密集连接编码器、子像素解码器和多尺度注意力门的2.5D两阶段网络,从短轴切片堆栈中生成初始肝和肿瘤概率图;随后,沿头尾方向采用三切片简单精修规则,增强切片间时间一致性,恢复细小病灶并抑制孤立噪声。接着,从候选病灶中提取728个涵盖强度、纹理、形状、边界和小波特征的影像组学描述符,经多策略特征选择压缩为20个稳定且高度信息量的特征,随机森林分类器据此剔除假阳性区域。最后,基于AlexNet改进的紧凑3D局部块卷积神经网络,在肿瘤边界窄带内执行体素级重标注与轮廓平滑。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate three-dimensional delineation of liver tumors on contrast-enhanced CT is a prerequisite for treatment planning, navigation and response assessment, yet manual contouring is slow, observer-dependent and difficult to standardise across centres. Automatic segmentation is complicated by low lesion-parenchyma contrast, blurred or incomplete boundaries, heterogeneous enhancement patterns, and confounding structures such as vessels and adjacent organs. We propose a hybrid framework that couples an attention-enhanced cascaded U-Net with handcrafted radiomics and voxel-wise 3D CNN refinement for joint liver and liver-tumor segmentation. First, a 2.5D two-stage network with a densely connected encoder, sub-pixel convolution decoders and multi-scale attention gates produces initial liver and tumor probability maps from short stacks of axial slices. Inter-slice temporal consistency is then enforced by a simple three-slice refinement rule along the cranio-caudal direction, which restores thin and tiny lesions while suppressing isolated noise. Next, 728 radiomic descriptors spanning intensity, texture, shape, boundary and wavelet feature groups are extracted from candidate lesions and reduced to 20 stable, highly informative features via multi-strategy feature selection; a random forest classifier uses these features to reject false-positive regions. Finally, a compact 3D patch-based CNN derived from AlexNet operates in a narrow band around the tumor boundary to perform voxel-level relabelling and contour smoothing.
