用隐式神经表示解决眼底OCT图像分辨率不一问题,实现跨协议3D分析

Don't Mind the Gaps: Implicit Neural Representations for Resolution-Agnostic Retinal OCT Analysis

  • 用坐标输入的隐式神经表示,摆脱图像分辨率限制
  • 通过多模态信息填补B-scan间隙,保持3D结构连续性
  • 构建可泛化的视网膜模板,支持不同成像协议的通用分析

临床眼底OCT检查常因切片间距大导致图像高度各向异性,且视网膜扫描稀疏。现有基于学习的方法多采用2D处理避免各向异性问题,但易造成相邻B-scan分割结果不一致,如层结构在3D中出现不规则表面。传统卷积网络受限于训练数据分辨率,难以适应不同成像协议。隐式神经表示(INRs)能将体素化数据表示为连续函数,以坐标为输入,具有分辨率无关特性。本文提出两种基于INR的框架:1)利用横断面模态补充信息,实现B-scan间的插值,保留关键结构;2)构建分辨率无关的视网膜图谱,支持无需严格数据要求的通用分析。二者均借助可泛化的INR,通过群体训练提升视网膜形状建模能力,并可预测未见病例。该方法使大间距B-scan的3D分析成为可能,拓展了视网膜结构与病灶的体积评估潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Routine clinical imaging of the retina using optical coherence tomography (OCT) is performed with large slice spacing, resulting in highly anisotropic images and a sparsely scanned retina. Most learning-based methods circumvent the problems arising from the anisotropy by using 2D approaches rather than performing volumetric analyses. These approaches inherently bear the risk of generating inconsistent results for neighboring B-scans. For example, 2D retinal layer segmentations can have irregular surfaces in 3D. Furthermore, the typically used convolutional neural networks are bound to the resolution of the training data, which prevents their usage for images acquired with a different imaging protocol. Implicit neural representations (INRs) have recently emerged as a tool to store voxelized data as a continuous representation. Using coordinates as input, INRs are resolution-agnostic, which allows them to be applied to anisotropic data. In this paper, we propose two frameworks that make use of this characteristic of INRs for dense 3D analyses of retinal OCT volumes. 1) We perform inter-B-scan interpolation by incorporating additional information from en-face modalities, that help retain relevant structures between B-scans. 2) We create a resolution-agnostic retinal atlas that enables general analysis without strict requirements for the data. Both methods leverage generalizable INRs, improving retinal shape representation through population-based training and allowing predictions for unseen cases. Our resolution-independent frameworks facilitate the analysis of OCT images with large B-scan distances, opening up possibilities for the volumetric evaluation of retinal structures and pathologies.
