从3D医学形态中分离疾病与衰老影响,无需诊断标签也能精准建模。

Self-supervised Disentanglement of Disease Effects from Aging in 3D Medical Shapes

  • 用隐式神经模型学习形状嵌入,聚类生成伪疾病标签。
  • 结合年龄标签与伪标签,实现接近监督效果的解耦重建。
  • 适合医疗影像分析、可解释性建模的研究者使用。

在3D医学形态中分离病理变化与生理衰老对开发可解释生物标志物和患者分层至关重要。然而,当诊断标签有限或不可用时,疾病与衰老常导致形状变化重叠,掩盖临床相关模式。为此,我们提出两阶段框架:第一阶段通过带符号距离函数的隐式神经模型学习稳定形状嵌入,并在潜空间聚类生成无真实诊断标签的伪疾病标签;第二阶段利用第一阶段发现的伪标签与所有受试者的真实年龄标签,在紧凑变分空间中进行自监督解耦,通过联合协方差与监督对比损失实现因子分离与可控性。在ADNI海马体和OAI远端股骨数据集上,性能接近监督方法,显著优于现有无监督基线,同时支持高保真重建、可控合成与基于因子的可解释性。代码与检查点已公开于https://github.com/anonymous-submission01/medical-shape-disentanglement。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Disentangling pathological changes from physiological aging in 3D medical shapes is crucial for developing interpretable biomarkers and patient stratification. However, this separation is challenging when diagnosis labels are limited or unavailable, since disease and aging often produce overlapping effects on shape changes, obscuring clinically relevant shape patterns. To address this challenge, we propose a two-stage framework combining unsupervised disease discovery with self-supervised disentanglement of implicit shape representations. In the first stage, we train an implicit neural model with signed distance functions to learn stable shape embeddings. We then apply clustering on the shape latent space, which yields pseudo disease labels without using ground-truth diagnosis during discovery. In the second stage, we disentangle factors in a compact variational space using pseudo disease labels discovered in the first stage and the ground truth age labels available for all subjects. We enforce separation and controllability with a multi-objective disentanglement loss combining covariance and a supervised contrastive loss. On ADNI hippocampus and OAI distal femur shapes, we achieve near-supervised performance, improving disentanglement and reconstruction over state-of-the-art unsupervised baselines, while enabling high-fidelity reconstruction, controllable synthesis, and factor-based explainability.
