用血管拓扑结构指导肝脏分段,提升分割精度与泛化能力。

VasGuideNet: Vascular Topology-Guided Couinaud Liver Segmentation with Structural Contrastive Loss

  • 基于图卷积网络融合血管骨架、距离变换和连接关系构建拓扑特征
  • 在公开与私有数据集上分别达到83.68%和76.65%的Dice分数
  • 引入结构对比损失增强类别区分性,适合临床肝手术规划场景

准确的Couinaud肝脏分割对术前规划与肿瘤定位至关重要。现有方法主要依赖图像强度和空间位置信息,未显式建模血管拓扑,导致近血管区域边界模糊且在解剖变异下泛化能力差。本文提出VasGuideNet,首个显式受血管拓扑引导的Couinaud分割框架。通过图卷积网络(GCNs)编码血管骨架、欧氏距离变换(EDT)几何信息及k近邻(kNN)连通性,生成拓扑特征,并经交叉注意力模块注入3D编码器-解码器主干。为进一步提升类间可分性与解剖一致性,引入带全局记忆库的结构对比损失(SCL)。在Task08_HepaticVessel与自建LASSD数据集上,分别获得83.68%与76.65%的Dice分数,RVD分别为1.68与7.08。显著优于UNETR、Swin UNETR、G-UNETR++等基线模型,在多数据集上均实现更高Dice/mIoU与更低RVD,验证了其在解剖一致性分割中的有效性。代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate Couinaud liver segmentation is critical for preoperative surgical planning and tumor localization.However, existing methods primarily rely on image intensity and spatial location cues, without explicitly modeling vascular topology. As a result, they often produce indistinct boundaries near vessels and show limited generalization under anatomical variability.We propose VasGuideNet, the first Couinaud segmentation framework explicitly guided by vascular topology. Specifically, skeletonized vessels, Euclidean distance transform (EDT)--derived geometry, and k-nearest neighbor (kNN) connectivity are encoded into topology features using Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs). These features are then injected into a 3D encoder--decoder backbone via a cross-attention fusion module. To further improve inter-class separability and anatomical consistency, we introduce a Structural Contrastive Loss (SCL) with a global memory bank.On Task08_HepaticVessel and our private LASSD dataset, VasGuideNet achieves Dice scores of 83.68% and 76.65% with RVDs of 1.68 and 7.08, respectively. It consistently outperforms representative baselines including UNETR, Swin UNETR, and G-UNETR++, delivering higher Dice/mIoU and lower RVD across datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness for anatomically consistent segmentation.
