从锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)中实现高精度三维牙齿分割是数字牙科工作流的前提。然而,由于低对比度和牙弓间边界模糊导致的粘连伪影,高质量分割仍具挑战性。为此,我们提出解剖感知级联网络(AACNet),一种从粗到精的框架,旨在解决边界模糊问题并保持全局结构一致性。具体引入两种机制:基于熵的不确定性门控边界修正器(AGBR)用于在高不确定区域进行特征修复;符号距离图引导的解剖注意力(SDMAA)通过隐式几何约束强化拓扑一致性,避免标准池化导致的空间细节丢失。在125例CBCT体积数据集上的实验表明,AACNet达到90.17%的骰子相似系数和3.63mm的95%豪斯多夫距离,显著优于当前最优方法。此外,模型在外部数据集上表现出色,HD95为2.19mm,验证其在手术规划等下游临床应用中的可靠性。代码已开源于https://github.com/shiliu0114/AACNet。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate three-dimensional (3D) tooth segmentation from Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a prerequisite for digital dental workflows. However, achieving high-fidelity segmentation remains challenging due to adhesion artifacts in naturally occluded scans, which are caused by low contrast and indistinct inter-arch boundaries. To address these limitations, we propose the Anatomy Aware Cascade Network (AACNet), a coarse-to-fine framework designed to resolve boundary ambiguity while maintaining global structural consistency. Specifically, we introduce two mechanisms: the Ambiguity Gated Boundary Refiner (AGBR) and the Signed Distance Map guided Anatomical Attention (SDMAA). The AGBR employs an entropy based gating mechanism to perform targeted feature rectification in high uncertainty transition zones. Meanwhile, the SDMAA integrates implicit geometric constraints via signed distance map to enforce topological consistency, preventing the loss of spatial details associated with standard pooling. Experimental results on a dataset of 125 CBCT volumes demonstrate that AACNet achieves a Dice Similarity Coefficient of 90.17 \% and a 95\% Hausdorff Distance of 3.63 mm, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, the model exhibits strong generalization on an external dataset with an HD95 of 2.19 mm, validating its reliability for downstream clinical applications such as surgical planning. Code for AACNet is available at https://github.com/shiliu0114/AACNet.
