用物理原理统一医学影像差异,提升模型跨机构诊断准确率。

Standardizing Medical Images at Scale for AI

  • 基于光学物理构建可解释的图像预处理框架,抑制颜色光照等非语义变化。
  • 在Camelyon17数据集上将癌症分类准确率从70.8%提升至90.9%。
  • 计算成本极低,可嵌入端到端学习,适合临床AI系统部署。

深度学习在医学图像分析中取得显著进展,但其性能仍高度依赖于临床数据的异质性。成像设备、染色协议和采集条件的差异导致显著域偏移,影响模型跨机构泛化能力。本文提出基于物理启发计算机视觉(PhyCV)算法的物理驱动数据预处理框架,将图像建模为随空间变化的光学场,通过虚拟衍射传播与相干相位检测实现确定性变换。该过程有效抑制颜色、光照等非语义变异,同时保留诊断相关的纹理与结构特征。应用于Camelyon17-WILDS基准的组织病理图像时,经PhyCV预处理后,分布外乳腺癌分类准确率从70.8%(经验风险最小化基线)提升至90.9%,达到或超越数据增强与域泛化方法水平,且计算开销极低。由于该变换具有物理可解释性、可参数化及可微分特性,既可作为固定预处理步骤部署,也可集成至端到端学习流程。结果表明,PhyCV是一种通用医学图像数据精炼工具,能通过第一性原理实现异构数据集的统一,提升临床AI系统的鲁棒性、可解释性与可复现性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deep learning has achieved remarkable success in medical image analysis, yet its performance remains highly sensitive to the heterogeneity of clinical data. Differences in imaging hardware, staining protocols, and acquisition conditions produce substantial domain shifts that degrade model generalization across institutions. Here we present a physics-based data preprocessing framework based on the PhyCV (Physics-Inspired Computer Vision) family of algorithms, which standardizes medical images through deterministic transformations derived from optical physics. The framework models images as spatially varying optical fields that undergo a virtual diffractive propagation followed by coherent phase detection. This process suppresses non-semantic variability such as color and illumination differences while preserving diagnostically relevant texture and structural features. When applied to histopathological images from the Camelyon17-WILDS benchmark, PhyCV preprocessing improves out-of-distribution breast-cancer classification accuracy from 70.8% (Empirical Risk Minimization baseline) to 90.9%, matching or exceeding data-augmentation and domain-generalization approaches at negligible computational cost. Because the transform is physically interpretable, parameterizable, and differentiable, it can be deployed as a fixed preprocessing stage or integrated into end-to-end learning. These results establish PhyCV as a generalizable data refinery for medical imaging-one that harmonizes heterogeneous datasets through first-principles physics, improving robustness, interpretability, and reproducibility in clinical AI systems.
