用物理模型指导网络修复前列腺MRI严重畸变,无需额外扫描。
Let Distortion Guide Restoration (DGR): A physics-informed learning framework for Prostate Diffusion MRI
- 基于物理畸变模型,结合CNN与扩散模型逆向恢复图像
- 在34例真实临床数据上显著提升图像几何精度和质量评分
- 适合有金属植入或肠道胀气等导致严重畸变的前列腺MRI患者
我们提出畸变引导重建(DGR),一种基于物理先验的混合卷积神经网络-扩散框架,用于无采集矫正前列腺单次激发EPI扩散加权成像中的严重磁敏感畸变。DGR通过大规模配对的畸变与未畸变数据训练,这些数据由410项多中心研究中无畸变的前列腺DWI与配准的T2加权图像合成,并结合11个金属植入病例的实际B0场图,生成b=50 s/mm²、b=1400 s/mm²的低b值和高b值DWI及ADC畸变图像。网络耦合了基于CNN的几何校正模块与在T2加权解剖结构引导下的条件扩散精修。在34例独立合成验证数据(使用真值模拟畸变场)上,DGR的PSNR更高,NMSE更低,优于FSL TOPUP和FUGUE。在34例存在严重畸变的真实临床研究中(包括髋关节假体和明显直肠充盈),DGR显著改善了几何保真度,提升了放射科医生评估的图像质量和诊断信心。总体而言,学习物理模拟正向过程的逆映射,为前列腺DWI提供了一种无需采集依赖的实用替代方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present Distortion-Guided Restoration (DGR), a physics-informed hybrid CNN-diffusion framework for acquisition-free correction of severe susceptibility-induced distortions in prostate single-shot EPI diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). DGR is trained to invert a realistic forward distortion model using large-scale paired distorted and undistorted data synthesized from distortion-free prostate DWI and co-registered T2-weighted images from 410 multi-institutional studies, together with 11 measured B0 field maps from metal-implant cases incorporated into a forward simulator to generate low-b DWI (b = 50 s per mm squared), high-b DWI (b = 1400 s per mm squared), and ADC distortions. The network couples a CNN-based geometric correction module with conditional diffusion refinement under T2-weighted anatomical guidance. On a held-out synthetic validation set (n = 34) using ground-truth simulated distortion fields, DGR achieved higher PSNR and lower NMSE than FSL TOPUP and FUGUE. In 34 real clinical studies with severe distortion, including hip prostheses and marked rectal distension, DGR improved geometric fidelity and increased radiologist-rated image quality and diagnostic confidence. Overall, learning the inverse of a physically simulated forward process provides a practical alternative to acquisition-dependent distortion-correction pipelines for prostate DWI.
