可变形多对比度图像配准因不同成像对比度间复杂的非线性强度关系而极具挑战。传统方法依赖迭代优化变形场,耗时较长;虽有基于学习的方法实现快速推理,但其泛化能力受限于训练中出现的特定对比度。本文提出自适应条件对比无关可变形配准框架(AC-CAR),采用基于随机卷积的对比度增强策略,使模型能在未见对比度下实现良好泛化。为促进对比无关特征学习,设计自适应条件特征调制器(ACFM),动态调节特征并施加对比无关潜在正则化以保持特征一致性。此外,通过集成方差网络,利用对比无关配准编码器生成配准不确定性估计,提升结果可信度。实验表明,AC-CAR在配准精度上优于基线方法,并展现出对未见对比度的优越泛化能力。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deformable multi-contrast image registration is a challenging yet crucial task due to the complex, non-linear intensity relationships across different imaging contrasts. Conventional registration methods typically rely on iterative optimization of the deformation field, which is time-consuming. Although recent learning-based approaches enable fast and accurate registration during inference, their generalizability remains limited to the specific contrasts observed during training. In this work, we propose an adaptive conditional contrast-agnostic deformable image registration framework (AC-CAR) based on a random convolution-based contrast augmentation scheme. AC-CAR can generalize to arbitrary imaging contrasts without observing them during training. To encourage contrast-invariant feature learning, we propose an adaptive conditional feature modulator (ACFM) that adaptively modulates the features and the contrast-invariant latent regularization to enforce the consistency of the learned feature across different imaging contrasts. Additionally, we enable our framework to provide contrast-agnostic registration uncertainty by integrating a variance network that leverages the contrast-agnostic registration encoder to improve the trustworthiness and reliability of AC-CAR. Experimental results demonstrate that AC-CAR outperforms baseline methods in registration accuracy and exhibits superior generalization to unseen imaging contrasts.
