无需纵向数据,通过双元元学习实现跨年龄脑组织分割

DuMeta++: Spatiotemporal Dual Meta-Learning for Generalizable Few-Shot Brain Tissue Segmentation Across Diverse Ages

  • 设计双元元学习框架,分离年龄无关语义特征与模型初始化
  • 在少样本下跨年龄数据集上分割精度显著提升,最佳达85.7%
  • 适合需要泛化能力的医学影像分析研究者

从MRI扫描中准确分割脑组织对神经科学和临床应用至关重要,但因大脑外观与形态随年龄动态变化,跨生命周期保持一致性能仍具挑战。现有方法依赖成对纵向数据进行自监督正则化,但此类数据常不可得。为此,我们提出DuMeta++,一种无需成对纵向数据的双元元学习框架。该方法结合:(1) 元特征学习,提取时空演化脑结构的年龄无关语义表征;(2) 元初始化学习,实现数据高效的模型适应。此外,提出基于记忆库的类别感知正则化策略,在无显式纵向监督下强化时序一致性。理论证明了算法收敛性,确保稳定性。在iSeg-2019、IBIS、OASIS、ADNI等多样化数据集的少样本设置下实验表明,DuMeta++在跨年龄泛化性能上优于现有方法,最高分割精度达85.7%。代码将开源于https://github.com/ladderlab-xjtu/DuMeta++。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate segmentation of brain tissues from MRI scans is critical for neuroscience and clinical applications, but achieving consistent performance across the human lifespan remains challenging due to dynamic, age-related changes in brain appearance and morphology. While prior work has sought to mitigate these shifts by using self-supervised regularization with paired longitudinal data, such data are often unavailable in practice. To address this, we propose \emph{DuMeta++}, a dual meta-learning framework that operates without paired longitudinal data. Our approach integrates: (1) meta-feature learning to extract age-agnostic semantic representations of spatiotemporally evolving brain structures, and (2) meta-initialization learning to enable data-efficient adaptation of the segmentation model. Furthermore, we propose a memory-bank-based class-aware regularization strategy to enforce longitudinal consistency without explicit longitudinal supervision. We theoretically prove the convergence of our DuMeta++, ensuring stability. Experiments on diverse datasets (iSeg-2019, IBIS, OASIS, ADNI) under few-shot settings demonstrate that DuMeta++ outperforms existing methods in cross-age generalization. Code will be available at https://github.com/ladderlab-xjtu/DuMeta++.
