用图神经网络实现心脏全周期快速仿真,精度接近传统方法。
A Cycle-Consistent Graph Surrogate for Full-Cycle Left Ventricular Myocardial Biomechanics
- 设计全局-局部图编码器捕捉心肌网格特征
- 生成符合生理规律的压力-容积曲线,与真实仿真一致
- 适合临床心脏功能分析与手术规划使用
基于影像的患者特异性左心室(LV)力学仿真对理解心脏功能和辅助临床干预规划具有重要意义,但传统有限元分析(FEA)计算成本高。现有图基代理模型缺乏全周期预测能力,物理信息神经网络在复杂心脏几何上常难以收敛。本文提出CardioGraphFENet(CGFENet),一种统一的图基代理模型,可快速实现左心室心肌力学的全周期估计,基于大规模FEA数据集训练。模型整合三项创新:(i) 基于弱形式启发的全局-局部图编码器,捕捉网格特征并引入全局耦合;(ii) 以目标容积-时间信号为条件的门控循环单元时序编码器,建模周期一致性动态;(iii) 单一框架内实现加载与逆卸载的循环一致性双向建模。该策略在保持与传统FEA高保真度的同时,生成符合生理规律的压力-容积环,与集中参数模型耦合后结果与FEA高度一致。尤其,循环一致性策略使所需FEA监督量显著减少,仅带来轻微精度损失。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Image-based patient-specific simulation of left ventricular (LV) mechanics is valuable for understanding cardiac function and supporting clinical intervention planning, but conventional finite-element analysis (FEA) is computationally intensive. Current graph-based surrogates do not have full-cycle prediction capabilities, and physics-informed neural networks often struggle to converge on complex cardiac geometries. We present CardioGraphFENet (CGFENet), a unified graph-based surrogate for rapid full-cycle estimation of LV myocardial biomechanics, supervised by a large FEA simulation dataset. The proposed model integrates (i) a global--local graph encoder to capture mesh features with weak-form-inspired global coupling, (ii) a gated recurrent unit-based temporal encoder conditioned on the target volume-time signal to model cycle-coherent dynamics, and (iii) a cycle-consistent bidirectional formulation for both loading and inverse unloading within a single framework. These strategies enable high fidelity with respect to traditional FEA ground truths and produce physiologically plausible pressure-volume loops that match FEA results when coupled with a lumped-parameter model. In particular, the cycle-consistency strategy enables a significant reduction in FEA supervision with only minimal loss in accuracy.
