GOUHFI 2.0是首个可在超高场MRI上稳定实现皮层分割的深度学习工具。

GOUHFI 2.0: A Next-Generation Toolbox for Brain Segmentation and Cortex Parcellation at Ultra-High Field MRI

  • 采用双3D U-Net架构,通过领域随机化提升对多模态数据的适应性
  • 在238名受试者数据上训练,实现35标签全脑分割与62标签皮层分区
  • 支持跨场强、多分辨率的自动分割与体积计算,适合大规模神经影像研究

超高场磁共振成像(UHF-MRI)在大规模神经影像研究中日益普及,但自动脑部分割与皮层分区仍面临信号不均、对比度与分辨率异质性及专用工具稀缺等挑战。标准软件如FastSurferVINN和SynthSeg+在直接应用于UHF图像时表现不佳,限制了基于区域的定量分析。为此,我们提出GOUHFI 2.0,作为GOUHFI的升级版,引入更大数据变异性与新功能,包括皮层分区与体积测量。该工具保持原始设计的对比度与分辨率无关特性,同时包含两个独立训练的3D U-Net分割任务:第一个任务在238名受试者数据上训练,实现跨对比度、分辨率、场强与人群的35类全脑分割;第二个任务使用相同数据集,依据Desikan-Killiany-Tourville(DKT)协议完成62类皮层分区。在多个数据集上,相较于原版工具,GOUHFI 2.0在异质队列中表现出更优的分割精度,并生成可靠的皮层分区结果。集成的体积计算流程输出与标准工作流一致。总体而言,GOUHFI 2.0为跨场强的脑分割、分区与体积测量提供全面解决方案,是首个可在UHF-MRI上实现稳健皮层分区的深度学习工具。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Ultra-High Field MRI (UHF-MRI) is increasingly used in large-scale neuroimaging studies, yet automatic brain segmentation and cortical parcellation remain challenging due to signal inhomogeneities, heterogeneous contrasts and resolutions, and the limited availability of tools optimized for UHF data. Standard software packages such as FastSurferVINN and SynthSeg+ often yield suboptimal results when applied directly to UHF images, thereby restricting region-based quantitative analyses. To address this need, we introduce GOUHFI 2.0, an updated implementation of GOUHFI that incorporates increased training data variability and additional functionalities, including cortical parcellation and volumetry. GOUHFI 2.0 preserves the contrast- and resolution-agnostic design of the original toolbox while introducing two independently trained 3D U-Net segmentation tasks. The first performs whole-brain segmentation into 35 labels across contrasts, resolutions, field strengths and populations, using a domain-randomization strategy and a training dataset of 238 subjects. Using the same training data, the second network performs cortical parcellation into 62 labels following the Desikan-Killiany-Tourville (DKT) protocol. Across multiple datasets, GOUHFI 2.0 demonstrated improved segmentation accuracy relative to the original toolbox, particularly in heterogeneous cohorts, and produced reliable cortical parcellations. In addition, the integrated volumetry pipeline yielded results consistent with standard volumetric workflows. Overall, GOUHFI 2.0 provides a comprehensive solution for brain segmentation, parcellation and volumetry across field strengths, and constitutes the first deep-learning toolbox enabling robust cortical parcellation at UHF-MRI.
