通过可控的临床概念扰动生成真实胸片,提升模型泛化能力

Clinically Aware Synthetic Image Generation for Concept Coverage in Chest X-ray Models

  • 基于临床概念向量进行精准扰动,保持解剖结构一致
  • 在7种模型上验证,显著提升精度与模型校准性
  • 专家评估确认图像真实且符合临床逻辑,适合医疗部署

胸部X光诊断的深度学习模型受限于公开训练数据中临床有意义的概念组合覆盖不足。尽管合成图像生成被用于增加数据多样性,但现有方法极少引入临床或解剖约束,限制了其对模型可靠性提升的作用。本文提出CARPA框架,一种临床感知且解剖结构可靠的胸片合成方法,通过对临床概念向量施加定向扰动,同时保持解剖结构不变。通过生成具有可控概念增删的解剖学真实合成图像,CARPA扩展了临床相关概念的覆盖率。我们在七个主干网络上评估CARPA:在合成子集上微调模型,并在保留的MIMIC-CXR基准上测试。相比先前的概念扰动方法,使用CARPA生成数据微调后,模型在精确率-召回率表现、预测不确定性降低及模型校准方面均有持续提升。结构与语义分析显示高解剖保真度、强概念对齐性和低语义不确定性。两名放射科专家的评估进一步验证了图像的真实性和临床一致性。结果表明,基于解剖结构的概念扰动能更有效地利用合成数据,提升胸部X光分类模型的性能与可靠性,支持更安全的临床应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deep learning models for chest X-ray diagnosis are constrained by limited coverage of clinically meaningful concept combinations in publicly available training datasets. While synthetic image generation has been explored to increase data diversity, existing methods rarely enforce clinical or anatomical constraints, limiting utility for improving model reliability. We propose CARPA, a clinically aware and anatomically grounded framework for synthetic chest X-ray generation that applies targeted perturbations to clinical concept vectors while preserving anatomical structure. By producing anatomically faithful synthetic images with controlled concept insertions and deletions, CARPA expands clinically relevant concept coverage. We evaluate CARPA across seven backbone architectures by fine-tuning models on synthetic subsets and testing on a held-out MIMIC-CXR benchmark. Compared to prior concept perturbation approaches, fine-tuning on CARPA-generated images consistently improves precision-recall performance, reduces predictive uncertainty, and improves model calibration. Structural and semantic analyses demonstrate high anatomical fidelity, strong concept alignment, and low semantic uncertainty. Evaluation by two expert radiologists further confirms realism and clinical agreement. Together, these results show that anatomically grounded concept perturbations enable more effective use of synthetic data, improving both performance and reliability of chest X-ray classification models and supporting safer clinical deployment.
