用偏好学习让血管分割更连贯,提升冠脉造影诊断可信度。

ARIADNE: A Perception-Reasoning Synergy Framework for Trustworthy Coronary Angiography Analysis

  • 分两阶段:先用偏好对齐感知,再用强化学习推理判断狭窄位置
  • 中心线Dice达0.838,假阳性降低41%,误检率显著下降
  • 适合介入心脏病学中的血管分析,尤其关注拓扑正确性

传统像素级损失函数无法约束冠状动脉血管的拓扑结构,导致分割结果虽在像素层面准确,却呈现断裂的血管树。本文提出ARIADNE,一种双阶段框架,融合偏好对齐的感知与基于强化学习的诊断推理,实现拓扑一致的狭窄检测。感知模块采用深度偏好优化(DPO)微调Sa2VA视觉-语言基础模型,以贝蒂数(Betti number)作为偏好信号,使模型关注几何完整的血管结构而非仅像素重叠。推理模块将狭窄定位建模为马尔可夫决策过程,引入显式拒绝机制,自动回避分叉点和血管交叉等模糊解剖区域,从最大化覆盖转向可靠性优化。在1,400张临床造影图像上,ARIADNE取得0.838的中心线Dice,相比几何基线假阳性减少41%。在多中心数据集ARCADE与XCAD上的外部验证证实其跨采集协议的泛化能力。这是首个将DPO用于医学影像拓扑对齐的工作,表明基于结构约束的偏好学习可在保持诊断敏感性的同时有效缓解拓扑错误。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Conventional pixel-wise loss functions fail to enforce topological constraints in coronary vessel segmentation, producing fragmented vascular trees despite high pixel-level accuracy. We present ARIADNE, a two-stage framework coupling preference-aligned perception with RL-based diagnostic reasoning for topologically coherent stenosis detection. The perception module employs DPO to fine-tune the Sa2VA vision-language foundation model using Betti number constraints as preference signals, aligning the policy toward geometrically complete vessel structures rather than pixel-wise overlap metrics. The reasoning module formulates stenosis localization as a Markov Decision Process with an explicit rejection mechanism that autonomously defers ambiguous anatomical candidates such as bifurcations and vessel crossings, shifting from coverage maximization to reliability optimization. On 1,400 clinical angiograms, ARIADNE achieves state-of-the-art centerline Dice of 0.838, reduces false positives by 41% compared to geometric baselines. External validation on multi-center benchmarks ARCADE and XCAD confirms generalization across acquisition protocols. This represents the first application of DPO for topological alignment in medical imaging, demonstrating that preference-based learning over structural constraints mitigates topological violations while maintaining diagnostic sensitivity in interventional cardiology workflows.
