通过解耦病理偏差生成高保真医学影像,提升诊断模型训练效果
PathoSyn: Imaging-Pathology MRI Synthesis via Disentangled Deviation Diffusion
- 将影像与病理分离建模,先重建解剖结构再添加病灶偏差
- 在肿瘤影像基准上显著优于传统扩散模型和掩码条件模型
- 适合需要可解释疾病模拟的精准医疗与算法评测场景
我们提出PathoSyn,一种统一的磁共振成像(MRI)图像生成框架,将成像-病理关系重构为稳定解剖流形上的解耦加性偏差。现有生成模型通常在全局像素域操作或依赖二值掩码,易导致特征纠缠,引发解剖基础破坏或结构不连续。PathoSyn通过将合成任务分解为确定性解剖重建与随机偏差建模来克服此问题。核心是偏差空间扩散模型,用于学习病理残差的条件分布,从而捕捉局部强度变化并天然保持全局结构完整。为确保空间一致性,扩散过程结合缝合感知融合策略与推理时稳定模块,共同抑制边界伪影,生成具有高保真内部病灶异质性的图像。PathoSyn提供数学上严谨的患者特异性合成数据生成流程,在低数据环境下促进鲁棒诊断算法开发。通过支持可解释的反事实疾病进展模拟,该框架可用于精准干预规划,并为临床决策支持系统提供可控评测环境。在肿瘤影像基准上的定量与定性评估表明,PathoSyn在感知真实度与解剖保真度上均显著优于整体扩散与掩码条件基线。本工作源代码将公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present PathoSyn, a unified generative framework for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) image synthesis that reformulates imaging-pathology as a disentangled additive deviation on a stable anatomical manifold. Current generative models typically operate in the global pixel domain or rely on binary masks, these paradigms often suffer from feature entanglement, leading to corrupted anatomical substrates or structural discontinuities. PathoSyn addresses these limitations by decomposing the synthesis task into deterministic anatomical reconstruction and stochastic deviation modeling. Central to our framework is a Deviation-Space Diffusion Model designed to learn the conditional distribution of pathological residuals, thereby capturing localized intensity variations while preserving global structural integrity by construction. To ensure spatial coherence, the diffusion process is coupled with a seam-aware fusion strategy and an inference-time stabilization module, which collectively suppress boundary artifacts and produce high-fidelity internal lesion heterogeneity. PathoSyn provides a mathematically principled pipeline for generating high-fidelity patient-specific synthetic datasets, facilitating the development of robust diagnostic algorithms in low-data regimes. By allowing interpretable counterfactual disease progression modeling, the framework supports precision intervention planning and provides a controlled environment for benchmarking clinical decision-support systems. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations on tumor imaging benchmarks demonstrate that PathoSyn significantly outperforms holistic diffusion and mask-conditioned baselines in both perceptual realism and anatomical fidelity. The source code of this work will be made publicly available.
