Learning-Based Estimation of Spatially Resolved Scatter Radiation Fields in Interventional Radiology
- 设计轻量全连接网络,实现三维散射场快速估计。
- 在关键区域预测与真实值空间吻合度高,外场评估达84%以上SMAPE。
- 开源数据集与训练流程,适合医疗辐射防护研究者使用。
我们提出三种轻量级全连接神经网络变体,用于在介入放射和心血管领域中交互式估算三维空间分辨的散射辐射场,并配套开发了辐射防护剂量学的训练流程。我们利用基于Geant4的RadField3D蒙特卡洛仿真工具,生成了三个复杂度递增的合成数据集,以男性Alderson RANDO人体躯干作为主要散射体。在这些数据集上,我们对比了卷积与全连接神经网络架构,验证了不同设计在重建辐射场剂量率与能谱分布方面的有效性。所有数据集及训练流程均以开源形式发布于独立仓库。通过多维度评估指标,模型在特定感兴趣区域表现出良好的空间一致性。尤其值得关注的是,外场散射辐射场的SMAPE指标达到84%以上,是当前最具挑战性的评估项。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present three variants of a lightweight, fully connected artificial neural network, suited for interactive estimation of three-dimensional, spatially resolved volumes of scattered radiation fields and a corresponding training pipeline for radiation protection dosimetry in medical radiation fields, such as those found in interventional radiology and cardiology. Accompanying, we present three different synthetically generated datasets with increasing complexity for training, generated using RadField3D, a Monte Carlo simulation application based on Geant4. As the primary scatter object, we employed the torso of a male Alderson RANDO phantom. On those datasets, we evaluate convolutional and fully connected architectures of neural networks to demonstrate which design decisions work well for reconstructing the fluence and spectra distributions over the spatial domain of such radiation fields. All our datasets, as well as our training pipeline, are published as open source in separate repositories. To evaluate the presented neural networks, we define and assess several metrics. Across these measures, the model variants demonstrate good spatial agreement between predicted and ground-truth radiation fields, particularly within specific regions of interest within the radiation field. Of particular relevance for potential application in out-of-field dosimetry is the SMAPE of the scatter radiation field, which represents the most challenging metric and was consistently above 84 %.
