超分辨率广泛用于医学影像以提升低质量数据,减少扫描时间并增强异常检测能力。传统方法依赖于人为降采样的配对图像数据集,训练模型从降质图像重建高分辨率图像。然而,在真实临床场景中,低分辨率数据常源于与简单降采样差异显著的成像机制,导致输入数据超出训练数据分布,引发域偏移,影响模型泛化性能。为此,本文提出一种分布式深度学习框架,提升模型在域偏移下的鲁棒性与泛化能力。该方法专用于4D Flow MRI(4DF)的分辨率增强,这是一种可捕捉血流速度及血管壁应力等临床关键指标的新成像模态,对评估动脉瘤破裂风险至关重要。模型首先在高分辨率计算流体动力学(CFD)模拟及其降采样版本上训练,再在小规模、标准化的4D Flow MRI与CFD配对数据集上微调。我们推导了分布估计器的理论性质,并通过真实数据应用证明该框架显著优于传统深度学习方法,验证了分布学习在解决域偏移、提升临床现实场景下超分辨率性能的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Super-resolution is widely used in medical imaging to enhance low-quality data, reducing scan time and improving abnormality detection. Conventional super-resolution approaches typically rely on paired datasets of downsampled and original high resolution images, training models to reconstruct high resolution images from their artificially degraded counterparts. However, in real-world clinical settings, low resolution data often arise from acquisition mechanisms that differ significantly from simple downsampling. As a result, these inputs may lie outside the domain of the training data, leading to poor model generalization due to domain shift. To address this limitation, we propose a distributional deep learning framework that improves model robustness and domain generalization. We develop this approch for enhancing the resolution of 4D Flow MRI (4DF). This is a novel imaging modality that captures hemodynamic flow velocity and clinically relevant metrics such as vessel wall stress. These metrics are critical for assessing aneurysm rupture risk. Our model is initially trained on high resolution computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and their downsampled counterparts. It is then fine-tuned on a small, harmonized dataset of paired 4D Flow MRI and CFD samples. We derive the theoretical properties of our distributional estimators and demonstrate that our framework significantly outperforms traditional deep learning approaches through real data applications. This highlights the effectiveness of distributional learning in addressing domain shift and improving super-resolution performance in clinically realistic scenarios.
