Virtual Biopsy for Intracranial Tumors Diagnosis on MRI
- 通过弱监督视觉语言模型定位肿瘤区域
- 构建首个249例的活检验证MRI数据集
- 适合神经影像与临床决策研究者参考
深部颅内肿瘤位于控制关键功能的脑区,诊断极具挑战。临床常规依赖立体定向活检获取病理确认,但活检存在出血、神经损伤风险,且因肿瘤空间异质性导致取样偏差。因此,发展非侵入性MRI病理预测对全面评估肿瘤至关重要。主要难点在于数据稀缺:肿瘤发病率低,需长期收集,且标注需神经外科专家活检验证;微小病灶缺乏分割掩码,关键特征易被背景噪声淹没。为此,我们构建了首个公开的活检验证数据集ICT-MRI,包含249例四类病例。提出虚拟活检框架:包括用于标准化的MRI处理器、基于视觉-语言模型的粗到精定位器(弱监督),以及融合局部判别特征与全局上下文的自适应诊断器(采用掩码通道注意力机制)。实验表明准确率超过90%,优于基线超20%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep intracranial tumors situated in eloquent brain regions controlling vital functions present critical diagnostic challenges. Clinical practice has shifted toward stereotactic biopsy for pathological confirmation before treatment. Yet biopsy carries inherent risks of hemorrhage and neurological deficits and struggles with sampling bias due to tumor spatial heterogeneity, because pathological changes are typically region-selective rather than tumor-wide. Therefore, advancing non-invasive MRI-based pathology prediction is essential for holistic tumor assessment and modern clinical decision-making. The primary challenge lies in data scarcity: low tumor incidence requires long collection cycles, and annotation demands biopsy-verified pathology from neurosurgical experts. Additionally, tiny lesion volumes lacking segmentation masks cause critical features to be overwhelmed by background noise. To address these challenges, we construct the ICT-MRI dataset - the first public biopsy-verified benchmark with 249 cases across four categories. We propose a Virtual Biopsy framework comprising: MRI-Processor for standardization; Tumor-Localizer employing vision-language models for coarse-to-fine localization via weak supervision; and Adaptive-Diagnoser with a Masked Channel Attention mechanism fusing local discriminative features with global contexts. Experiments demonstrate over 90% accuracy, outperforming baselines by more than 20%.
