用MRI预测阿尔茨海默病关键生物标志物Tau-PET,提升可扩展性。

SFL-Net: Source-Factorized Latent Representation Learning for Multi-Contrast MRI to Tau-PET Synthesis

  • 分解潜在表征为共享与模态特异路径,融合多对比MRI信息
  • 在ADNI-3和OASIS-3数据集上实现高保真度合成,符合临床评估标准
  • 提供可审计的源贡献分析,适合医学影像可信生成研究者

Tau正电子发射断层扫描有助于阿尔茨海默病分期,但受限于示踪剂、扫描设备及辐射,难以大规模应用。从结构磁共振成像(MRI)合成Tau-PET具有吸引力,但挑战巨大:T1加权和FLAIR MRI虽能反映解剖与病变形态,却不直接携带与Tau-PET相关信号。本文提出SFL-Net,一种多输入合成框架,可从T1和FLAIR MRI预测Tau-PET。该模型将潜在表示分解为共享、T1特异、FLAIR特异及互补路径,并通过潜在结构条件化保留解剖细节,而非依赖直接编码器-解码器连接。我们在605名训练和83名验证受试者(来自ADNI-3和OASIS-3数据集)上评估了SFL-Net与基线模型。评估涵盖图像保真度、标准化摄取值比一致性、高摄取区域重叠、区域Bland-Altman偏差、Braak分期一致性、非劣效性敏感性分析及潜变量Shapley归因。SFL-Net在临床相关与重建指标上表现优异,同时提供传统UNet类模型所缺乏的源级别可审计性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Tau positron emission tomography supports Alzheimer's disease staging but is difficult to scale because of tracer, scanner, and radiation constraints. Synthesis from structural MRI is therefore attractive, but it is a particularly difficult setting. T1-weighted and FLAIR MRI provide anatomy and disease correlated morphology, but they do not directly measure Tau-PET relevant signal. We introduce SFL-Net, a multi-input synthesis framework that predicts Tau-PET from T1-weighted and FLAIR MRI. SFL-Net factorizes the latent representation into shared, T1-specific, FLAIR-specific, and complementary pathways and preserves anatomical detail through latent structural conditioning rather than direct encoder-decoder connections. We evaluated SFL-Net and baseline models using 605 training and 83 validation subjects from ADNI-3 and OASIS-3 datasets. Evaluation included raw image fidelity, standardized uptake value ratio agreement, high uptake overlap, regional Bland-Altman bias, braak derived stage agreement, non-inferiority sensitivity analysis, and latent component Shapley attribution. SFL-Net performed competitively on both clinically relevant and reconstruction metrics, while also delivering explicit source level auditability that conventional UNet derived models lack.
